A. She is anxious after failing her English test
Explanation: Emotional stress/anxiety triggers the sympathetic nervous system and the adrenal medulla to release epinephrine and norepinephrine (fight‑or‑flight response). Low blood sugar is mainly handled by pancreatic glucagon (and longer‑term cortisol), a stomachache is GI, and breath‑holding causes respiratory/vascular reflexes rather than a primary adrenal chemical response.
