Epinephrine and norepinephrine are the hormones typically activated during the "fight or flight" response, which is a natural response to a perceived threat or danger. In this case, Javier was robbed at gunpoint, which likely triggered his "fight or flight" response, causing these hormones to be released. Option A, C, and D are not likely to be activated during this type of encounter.
