Solution

The correct option is B Acetylcholine
Acetylcholine is the chief neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) that contracts smooth muscles, dilates blood vessels, increases bodily secretions, and slows heart rate.
Serotonin also called happy hormone that uplifts the mood. It activates the metabolic process and energy.
The adrenal medulla is composed of the sympathetic nervous system. The adrenal medulla regulates and secretes both epinephrine and norepinephrine in response to stress and other imbalances in the body, such as low blood pressure.
