    Answer: The correct answer is -

    B) stress hormones.

    Explanation:

    Emergency situations can be caused by any Emotional or physical stress that may include anxiety, fear, anger, tension and other physiological stress such as injury, infection etc.

    These situations lead to the activation of sympathetic nervous system, which ultimately causes the secretion of stress hormones (such as cortisol, which is primary stress hormone) from adrenal gland in bloodstream.

    As a consequence, blood pressure, heart rate, and blood sugar level of the person rises.

    Thus, option B) is the right answer.
