The correct answer is:

                    

Mary, during her first five minutes before interview experiences sweating, increased heart rate and respiration because she is having stress which leads to relcase of emergency hormones or hormones of Fight or Flight, i.e., adrenaline and noradrenaline. These hormones also stimulate the breakdown of glycogen resulting in an increased concentration of glucose in blood.
Estrogen regulates growth and development of female sex organs, appearance of female secondary sex characters, mammary gland development and progesterone supports pregnancy.
Oxytocin is involved in contraction of smooth muscles of uterus at the time of childbirth in females and acts mainly on mammary gland for milk ejection. Vasopressin stimulates the reabsorption of water and electrolytes by distal tubules in kidney and also reduces loss of water.
Insulin and glucagon are the peptide hormones. Insulin decrease blood glucose level and glucagon increases blood glucose level.
