Solution

The correct option is A B
The parathyroid gland (B) is responsible for regulating the calcium level in the body. There are 4 parathyroid glands located in the neck just behind the thyroid gland. It releases a parathyroid hormone which increases or decreases the amount of calcium according to the calcium level in the body.
