Vedclass · Answer

(A) The situation described is a classic 'fight-or-flight' response triggered by an emergency or stressful situation (earthquake). Adrenaline (also known as epinephrine) is secreted by the adrenal medulla in response to stress. It prepares the body for immediate physical action by increasing heart rate,blood pressure,and blood glucose levels,and by diverting blood flow to skeletal muscles. Therefore,adrenaline is the hormone responsible for initiating the rapid response to the emergency.
