Which of the following hormones is secreted by the Beta cell of Islet of Langerhans of Pancreas?
- AAdrenalin
- BGlucagon
- CInsulin
- DAldosterone
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (c) Insulin
Explanation

The Beta cells secrete insulin, which lowers blood glucose by promoting its uptake and storage as glycogen.
Alpha cells secrete glucagon (raises glucose); adrenalin and aldosterone come from the adrenal gland.
