Solution

The correct option is A Glucagon - Beta cells (source)
Glucagon is a hormone, secreted by the α (or A) cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, that increases the concentration of glucose in the blood by stimulating the metabolic break down of glycogen. It thus antagonizes the effects of insulin.
