Answer:

The correct answer is (b) epinephrine.

Explanation:

Epinephrine, also known as <em>Adrenaline</em>, is a hormone secreted by the medulla of the adrenal glands.

In medicine, epinephrine is used as a stimulant in cardiac arrest, as a vasoconstrictor in shock and as a bronchodilator and antispasmodic in bronchial asthma.

When epinephrine is inhaled in small doses, it causes short-term relief from the symptoms by widening the bronchial tubes allowing air to pass through.

I hope it helps!
