Solution

The correct option is C
Somatostatin

The Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas contain three kinds of cells - The alpha cells produce the hormone glucagon, the beta cells produce insulin and the delta cells produce the hormone somatostatin. Insulin and glucagon regulate blood sugar levels while somatostatin inhibits the release of these hormones.
