Answer:

The correct answer is letter A. They regulate blood levels of glucose

Step-by-step explanation:

Pancreas secrete a kind of hormony called insulin. This sort of hormony regulates the levels of glucose in the whole body. It is important for us. When we have a problem inside pancreas and this organ can't secrete the insulin anymore, a disease appears in our body called diabetes. The levels of glucose in our body starts to increase and people that have this kind of disease need to take insulin injection.
