The correct answer is A, parathyroid gland.

The parathyroid hormone is secreted by the parathyroid gland which inhibits osteoblasts, stimulates osteoclasts, reduces the calcium output by the kidneys and promotes absorption of the calcium by the small intestines. Calcitonin, secreted by the thyroid gland, also works to a similar effect.
