PLEASE HELP MEEEEEE!!!!!

Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood glucose levels. Insulin is made by pancreatic cells in response to increased glucose levels in the blood after a meal. Insulin binds to receptors on liver cells and stimulates them to polymerize glucose to form glycogen. Which of the following physiological responses will most likely occur if insulin stops being made by pancreatic cells?
A. Increased glucose levels eventually stimulate glycogen breakdown in liver cells. OB. Signals sent from liver cells to the brain stimulate the appetite for more food.
C. Liver cells produce more insulin receptors on their cell surface.
D. Glycogen levels fall in liver cells and high amounts of glucose build up in blood.​

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is _D_. The main function of insulin is to remove excess glucose from the blood and store it in the liver cells as glycogen. If insulin stops being made and secreted by the pancreatic cells, glucose will not be taken up by the cells and stored as glycogen, thus glycogen levels in the liver will fall, and glucose will accumulate in the blood.
