Answer:

d.glucagon

Step-by-step explanation:

Glucagon is not directly required for the growth of soft tissues, it is mainly necessary in the maintenance of blood glucose level. When blood glucose level is reduced, it stimulates the release of stored glycogen to glucose in a process known as glycogenolysis. Thyroid hormone and somatotropin are directly involved in growth process. More recent studies also indicate that insulin functions in soft tissue growth
