✓Answer
(b) Helps in the production of spermatozoa during adolescence
Explanation
Adrenaline is a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands that prepares the body for ‘fight or flight’ response. It increases heartbeat, cardiac output, and systolic blood pressure to supply more oxygen to muscles quickly. However, it has no role in the production of spermatozoa during adolescence; this function is regulated by other hormones like testosterone.
