Answer:

D. Calcitonin

Step-by-step explanation:

C-cells are also called parafollicular cells, these cells are located adjacent to the thyroid follicles. These cells work as antagonist cells of the Vitamine D and the parathyroid hormone. The parafollicular cells are stimulated by high serum levels of calcium. The higher the calcium levels are they start to release the calcitonin.
