Solution

The correct option is D
Parathyroid

Parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormone (PTH) also called as parathormone. Parathyroid hormone controls the absorption of calcium and its balance is maintained in response to the blood calcium levels. PTH has a role in vitamin D synthesis as well.
