Solution

The correct option is B Homeostasis
Homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant internal environment of the body.
The control of blood glucose level is a good example of homeostasis and it involves the secretion of at least six hormones.
A rise in the blood glucose level stimulates insulin secretion whereas a fall in the blood glucose level inhibits insulin secretion and stimulates the secretion of glucagon and other hormones which raise blood glucose levels.
