Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. pancreas.
Pancreas produces the hormone glucagon to aid in controlling your blood glucose (sugar) levels.
- Human body naturally produces the hormone glucagon, which regulates blood glucose (sugar) levels in conjunction with other hormones and physiological processes.
- Pancreas' alpha cells produce glucagon, which is then released in reaction to a reduction in blood sugar, prolonged fasting, physical activity, and protein-rich meals.
