Solution

Insulin is a protein hormone secreted by α-cells of pancreatic Islet of Langerhans
The blood sugar level rises due to deficiency of insulin because Insulin acts mainly on hepatocytes and adipocytes (cells of adipose tissue) and enhances cellular glucose uptake and utilization. As a result, there is a rapid movement of glucose from the blood to hepatocytes and adipocytes resulting in decreased blood glucose levels (hypoglycemia).
Hence The blood sugar level rises due to deficiency of Insulin'.
So, the correct answer is 'Insulin'.
