The adrenal glands produce both estrogen and testosterone hormones. However, testosterone is more dominant in women and is responsible for sex drive. When there is an adrenal gland disorder, there is a reduction in testosterone production, leading to a reduction in sexual interest.

Option A is incorrect because adrenal glands produce hormones that affect women's sexual interest. Option B is incorrect because adrenal hormones do not inhibit women's testosterone levels. Option C is incorrect because adrenal glands do not supply about half of a woman's estrogens.
