Solution

The correct option is C Aldosterone
Glucagon, Insulin and Cortisone are hormones that are involved in sugar metabolism. Insulin is involved in glycogenesis​​​​​ (formation of glycogen from sugar​​) where as glucagon and cortisone play a role in gluconeogenesis (generation of glucose).
Aldosterone is an hormone produced by the adrenal glands and help in the maintenance of electrolytes, body fluid volume, osmotic pressure and blood pressure.​​​​​​​
