Solution

The correct option is D Insulin
Diabetes is caused, either due to the pancreas not producing enough insulin, or the cells of the body not being able to utilize the insulin produced; as a result of which, the body is unable to use glucose from the blood and it gets accumulated in the blood and is removed from the body through urine. Insulin helps in conversion of glucose into glycogen and lowers the blood glucose level.
So, the correct answer is option A.
