Solution

The correct option is
A

Glucagon - Beta cells (source)
Glucagon is a polypeptide hormone that is secreted by the α-cells of the pancreas. This hormone is responsible for raising the blood glucose level by breaking down glycogen into glucose and promoting the conversion of non-carbohydrate substances into glucose.

β-cells secrete insulin which lowers the blood glucose level.
