C Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option as adrenal glands are also called as the glands of emergency. In case of an emergency, these glands secrete large amounts of adrenaline, which further speeds up the heart beat and breathing, raising blood pressure and allowing more glucose to go into the body to give a lot of energy to the body.
