Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Activation of the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis results in the production and release of cortisol from the adrenal cortex, which leads to increased energy and numerous other physiological changes. It does not result in decreased levels of cortisol, so choice C is the correct answer. Choices A and B are correct, as they describe the communication between the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and adrenal cortex that is involved in HPA activation. Choice D is also correct, as increased energy is one of the effects of cortisol release.
