Explanation

The correct answer is C because of the following matches: I. Adrenaline matches with A (Anger, fear, danger). It is known as the fight or flight hormone released during stressful situations. II. Estrogen matches with C (Females). It is the primary female sex hormone responsible for the development of female secondary sexual characteristics. III. Insulin matches with D (Glucose). It is a hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates blood sugar levels by helping cells take in glucose. IV. Pheromones match with B (Attracting partners through sense of smell). These are chemical substances secreted by animals to influence the behavior or physiology of others of their species, often for mating. Comparing these matches to the codes provided, only option C aligns with I-A, II-C, III-D, and IV-B.
