Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Secretion of glucagon hormone increases the blood glucooe level. Secretion of insulin hormone lowers the blood glucose level. Hypoglycaemia disorder is due to the imbalance of glucagon and insulin hormones. In this, blood glucose level decreases due to the hypersecretion of insulin and hyposecretion of glucagon.
