Final answer:

Glucagon is the pancreatic hormone secreted to stimulate the release of stored glucose when blood glucose concentration falls. Hence the correct answer is option B and C

Step-by-step explanation:

Insulin is secreted by the pancreas in response to elevated blood glucose levels to remove glucose from the blood. When blood glucose concentration falls, the pancreatic hormone released to stimulate the release of stored glucose is glucagon. Glucagon signals cells to break down stored glycogen into glucose, increasing the level of glucose in the blood.

Hence the correct answer is option B and C
