C

D
Kidney
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The adrenal medulla is located inside the adrenal cortex in the center of an adrenal gland. It produces “stress hormones, ‘’ including adrenaline.

Detailed explanation-2: -Medulla: The medulla is the inner part of your adrenal gland, and it releases the hormones adrenaline (epinephrine) and noradrenaline (norepinephrine). These hormones help control your blood pressure, heart rate, sweating and other activities that are also regulated by your sympathetic nervous system.

Detailed explanation-3: -The adrenal gland is made up of the cortex and medulla. The cortex produces steroid hormones including glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and adrenal androgens, and the medulla produces the catecholamines, epinephrine, and norepinephrine.

Detailed explanation-4: -Norepinephrine (noradrenaline) constricts blood vessels. Like epinephrine, it increases heart rate, blood pressure and blood sugar levels. The adrenal medulla also produces the protein chromogranin A, which is stored and secreted with epinephrine and norepinephrine.
