Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation

Adrenaline and noradrenaline are both catecholamine hormones secreted by the adrenal glands in response to stress, anxiety, and danger. These hormones prepare the body for the fight-or-flight response by increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration, as well as providing the body with extra energy by breaking down stored glycogen into glucose. Both hormones act on various organs and tissues in the body, including the heart, blood vessels, and lungs, to increase their activity and prepare the body to respond to the stressor.
