Solution

The correct option is B
Parathormone

The parathyroid gland secretes a hormone called parathormone. The function of this hormone is to raise the level of calcium in the blood. When the level of calcium in the blood drops, it helps in the reabsorption of calcium to the blood from the kidneys and also prevents the deposition of calcium in bones.
