Solution

The correct option is A

Pancreas


The pancreas is located in the abdomen and is involved in the regulation of blood glucose levels. The level of glucose is maintained by the combined action of insulin and glucagon. The action of insulin prevents the rise of blood sugar in the blood. Glucagon increases the level of blood glucose when it becomes low.
