Solution

The correct option is A Provide him sugar
The insulin is the hormone secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas which are involved in the regulation of the glucose metabolism. The uptake of glucose by the cells is enhanced by this hormone and so the person may have suffered from the hypoglycemic condition where there is less amount of sugar in the blood. The person should be provided with sugar to make up the requirement of glucose.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
