The correct answer is

Cortisol

The adrenal glands are endocrine glands located on top of each kidney, with an outer cortex and an inner medulla.

The adrenal cortex secretes corticosteroids, the main glucocorticoid being cortisol, which regulates metabolism and the stress response.

Thyroxine comes from the thyroid gland, estrogen mainly from the ovaries, and TSH from the pituitary gland.

Hence, Cortisol.
