Solution

The correct option is A Promoting glycogenolysis.
Glucagon is a hormone released by the pancreas in response to decrease concentration of glucose in the bloodstream. Glucagon causes the blood glucose level to increase by converting stored glycogen into glucose by the process of glycogenolysis.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
