Answer:

d. adrenals; ACTH

Step-by-step explanation:

The steroid hormones cortisol and corticosterone are released by the adrenals in response to the hormone ACTH( Adrenocorticotropic hormone).

High levels of ACTH send signals to the adrenal gland receptors which stimulate the secretion of cortisol. The cortisol is helpful in controlling blood sugar levels, regulating metabolism and helping to reduce inflammation
