Answer:

Adrenergic/effector/sympathetic

Step-by-step explanation:

The two main divisions of autonomic nervous system are sympathetic nervous system and para sympathetic nervous system. This nervous system controls the involuntary actions of the body.

Adrenergic receptors are included in the G protein coupled receptors. Alpha and beat receptors are adrenergic receptors. These receptors are present on the effector molecule. Alpha and beta receptors are important during fight and flight response and are included in the sympathetic nervous system.

Thus, the correct answer is option (e).
