Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Insulin is an anabolic hormone. It increases the synthesis of fat in the adipose tissue from fatty acids as well as glucose. It promotes protein synthesis in tissues from amino acids. It reduces catabolism of proteins and breakdown and oxidation of fats by decreasing the enzymes which induce gluconeogenesis. Insulin increases the utilisation of glucose in tissues and facilities the storage of glucose as glycogen. A rise in blood glucose level and blood amino acids stimulates both synthesis and the secretion of insulin.
Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
