Hint: By the term 3 F, we should understand here that the 3F are fear, fight and flight. That means the secretion of the gland should control the emotions of fear, fight and flight.

Complete answer:
Thyroid gland, gonadal gland and pancreas are not involved in any such process that means directly the answer is adrenal gland but to understand this, composition of adrenal gland secretion is epinephrine and norepinephrine. Both these secretions are responsible for our behavior stress, excitement, rage, anger, etc.
Both these secretions epinephrine and norepinephrine are released from the adrenal medulla part and the adrenal cortex part is responsible for the corticosteroid hormones that are released by the adrenal gland.
medulla controls our emotions timely according to our state of mind and body.
We should know about other glands as well. And, As the 3F that is fear, fight and rage come under the functions of adrenal gland, adrenal gland is the answer to the above question.
Thyroid gland is responsible to control the secretion of thyroxine hormone and gonadal gland is responsible for the hormones of the gonads like testosterone and estrogens. Pancreas is an exocrine gland which is both exocrine and endocrine, its endocrine part comprises of 1% of the total gland that constitutes different type of cells like Alpha cells, Beta cells, Delta cells which secretes different type of hormones like glucagon, insulin, somatostatin, etc.

Hence the correct answer is Option , A.

Note: Secretions of adrenal gland are also known as stress hormones.
Fear, fight and flight are in some way or the other a form of stress itself, all these emotions are controlled by Adrenal gland and the terms fear, fight and flight are the 3 F in the above question.
