Correct answer
B. Insulin and glucagon helps to maintain blood sugar levels.
Step-by-step solution
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulates the reabsorption of by renal tubules and increases absorption from digested food. It means PTH increases the blood level. Old aged persons have weak immunity because thymus is degenerated in old individuals resulting in a decreased production of thymosin. Oestoporosis in women occurs due to decreased level of estrogen.
