The correct answer is option 3 - Diuretic. Diuretic is a medicine or substance that promotes the production and secretion of urine by the kidneys. It works by increasing the flow of water and electrolytes out of the body through the urine. Diuretics are commonly used to treat conditions such as high blood pressure, heart failure, and edema.

Option 1 - Adrenaline, also known as epinephrine, is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It is primarily involved in the body`s "fight or flight" response, but it does not directly promote urine secretion.

Option 2 - "Monouretic" is not a recognized medical term and does not accurately describe a type of medicine or substance.

Option 4 - "Triuretic" is also not a recognized medical term and does not accurately describe a type of medicine or substance.

In summary, a medicine that promotes the secretion of urine is called a diuretic.
