The correct Answer is:
B
On stimulation of glucocorticoid (cortisol) liver cells convert certain amino acids or lactic acid to glucose which neurons and other cells uses for ATP production. This is called gluconeogenesis while insulin helps to lower down blood glucose level by inhibiting glycogenolysis (glucose glycogen) and gluconeogenesis (glucose lactic acid and amino acids).
