together these two hormones produced by the pancreas control blood sugar levels
A
epinephrine and nor-epinephrine
B
T3 and T4
C
estrogen and progesterone
D
insulin and glucagon
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The human body wants blood glucose (blood sugar) maintained in a very narrow range. Insulin and glucagon are the hormones that make this happen. Both insulin and glucagon are secreted from the pancreas, and thus are referred to as pancreatic endocrine hormones.

Detailed explanation-2: -This is the first section of the small intestine. The main hormones secreted by the endocrine gland in the pancreas are insulin and glucagon, which regulate the level of glucose in the blood, and somatostatin, which prevents the release of insulin and glucagon.

Detailed explanation-3: -While glucagon keeps blood glucose from dropping too low, insulin is produced to keep blood glucose from rising too high. The two hormones counterbalance each other to stabilize blood glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucagon and insulin are both important hormones that play essential roles in regulating your blood glucose (sugar). Both hormones come from your pancreas-alpha cells in your pancreas make and release glucagon, and beta cells in your pancreas make and release insulin.

Detailed explanation-5: -Insulin reduces the body’s blood sugar levels and provides cells with glucose for energy by helping cells absorb glucose. When blood sugar levels are too low, the pancreas releases glucagon. Glucagon instructs the liver to release stored glucose, which causes the body’s blood sugar levels to rise.
