The question is asking for the substance that was higher in workers in lower employment grades. Cortisol is a hormone that is released in response to stress, and its levels are typically high in the morning and decrease throughout the day. The fact that cortisol levels remained high throughout the day for these workers suggests chronic stress, which could be related to poor sleep and work experiences. The other options (testosterone, insulin, glucose) are not directly related to stress or sleep.
