[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The correct answer is the adrenal gland. When a person encounters a potentially dangerous or stressful situation, the body's fight-or-flight response is triggered. This response involves the activation of the adrenal gland, which releases hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones help prepare the body for a fight or to flee from danger. In this scenario, upon encountering the mother bear and her cubs, the adrenal gland would be immediately activated.
