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.
