Explanation:

Question 11

Alpha cells in the pancreas are known to secrete glucagon. Renin is produced by the kidneys, cortisol by the adrenal cortex, and insulin by beta cells of the pancreas.

Diabetes insipidus is caused by a deficiency of antidiuretic hormone (ADH, also called vasopressin). TSH (thyroid - stimulating hormone), ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone), and FSH (follicle - stimulating hormone) are not related to the pathogenesis of diabetes insipidus.

Answer:

C. glucagon
