Answer

Correct option: A.
Glucagon - Beta cells (source)
a
In pancreatic islets, alpha or $\alpha$-cells constitute about $15 \%$ of pancreatic islets cells and secrete glucagon. Glucagon intensifies glycogenolysis deamination and gluconeogenesis, and inhibits glycogenesis in liver cells. It also intensifies lipolysis in adipose tissue. Thus, it is a promoter of catabolic metabolism.
