Solution

The correct option is C

Increases the level of calcium in the blood


Parathyroid gland is situated behind the thyroid gland and secretes a hormone called parathormone. Parathormone raises the level of calcium in blood by the reabsorption of calcium, from the kidneys to the blood and also prevents the deposition of calcium in bones.
