Solution

The correct option is B A-Ovary, B-Glucagon, C-Growth hormone
Estrogen is secreted by ovary. It maintains the secondary sexual characters.
Glucagon is secreted by alpha cells of islets of Langerhans. It raises blood sugar level.
Growth hormone is secreted by anterior pituitary. Its oversecretion leads to gigantism.
Thus, the correct answer is 'A-Ovary, B-Glucagon, C-Growth hormone.'
