The correct option is B It regulates growth and development of the body
Growth hormone also known as somatotropin or somatropin is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell reproduction and regeneration in humans and other animals. Insulin is produced by pancreas, from the specialised cell called as beta cells in Islets of Langerhans. It plays a key role in absorption of blood sugar by the cells. It regulates blood sugar levels along with glucagon.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
