The correct answer is:
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
Adrenaline (epinephrine) is a hormone produced by the medulla of the adrenal glands, that increases heart activity, improves the power and prolongs the action of muscles, and increases the rate and depth of breathing to prepare the body for 'fright, fight, or flight.It is secreted at the time of emergency.
