Answer: Epinephrine

Step-by-step explanation:

The hormone named epinephrine which is released during stress conditions is commonly known as adrenaline.

This hormone responds rapidly to the stress conditions by increasing the heart rate and rushing the blood into brain and muscles.

It also increases the blood sugar level by conversion of Glycogen into glucose.

hence, the answer is Epinephrine.
