Solution

The correct option is A
Insulin

Insulin is the hormone secreted by the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. They are released when there is a high amount of sugar in the blood. The insulin induces cellular uptake of the sugar/glucose and it converts the excess glucose to glycogen which is stored in the muscles and liver.
