Solution

The correct option is C Parathormone
Parathomone is secreted by chief cells of the parathyroid that regulates the metabolism of calcium and phosphate. It increases calcium absorption from the intestine and also increases calcium resorption from the nephrons of the kidneys. So its deficiency leads to low blood calcium level.
