Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When Goldilocks woke up surrounded by 3 bears, her body's fight or flight response was activated, which stimulated her sympathetic nervous system. This, in turn, triggered the release of adrenaline directly from her adrenal glands, which are endocrine glands. Therefore, option B is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because there is no mention of a peripheral endocrine gland being involved. Option C is incorrect because there is no mention of a substance causing the stimulation.
