Answer: option B.

The nervous system signals the endocrine system to release

hormones in response to a stimulus.

Explanation:

The nervous system respond to stimulus through action potentials and neurotransmitters and they signals the endocrine system to secrete hormones.

The endocrine system is responsible for secreting hormones into the blood which is transported to the target cells. These hormones are responsible for metabolism, growth and response to stress. The hormones secreted provide feedback to the brain so as to affect neural processing.
