Answer:  the correct answer is A. ACTH

Explanation:

ACTH  stands for Adrenocorticotropic hormone  Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH, also adrenocorticotropin, corticotropin) is an important component of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and is often produced in response to biological stress (along with its precursor corticotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus). Its principal effects are increased production and release of cortisol by the cortex of the adrenal gland. ACTH is also related to the circadian rhythm in many organisms.
