Solution
The correct option is E Glucagon
Glucagon is secreted by the alpha cells of the Islets of Langerhans in response to a fall in the blood glucose level. It stimulates the change of glycogen stored in the liver to blood glucose. It also triggers the formation of glucose from amino acids and fats. Both the processes increase the blood-glucose level to provide energy between meals. So, the correct answer is option E.
