B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bone cells can release a hormone called osteocalcin which helps in the regulation of blood sugar levels. Osteocalcin has been found to increase the secretion and sensitivity of insulin and reduces fat storage. Lower levels of osteocalcin have been found in people with a higher BMI.

Detailed explanation-2: -Osteocalcin treatment increased insulin release, and OCN level was negatively correlated with fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c, insulin resistance, BMI and body fat. In our study Osteocalcin alleviated insulin resistance, reduced hyperinsulinemia and enhanced insulin action in type 2 diabetes patients.
