Solution

The correct option is D Glucagon
Glucagon is the counter hormone to the insulin hormone. Glucagon causes the release of glucose from stored glycogen in the liver and muscles, increases production of new glucose using the amino acids from protein breakdown and increases release of free fatty acids (FFA) from fat stores.
