Answer:

Zona fasiculata.

Explanation:

Zona fasiculata is present in the middle of the adrenal cortex lies beneath the zona glomerulosa. This layer produces the glucocorticoids especially cortisol that regulates the glucose metabolism.

The zona fasiculata layer can be easily determined historically. This layer of adrenal cortex contains the long cords or column cells and the cells are plump with liquid.

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).
