The answer is d.) Glucagon.

Explanation for each option: a.) Somatostatin - This hormone is secreted by delta cells in the pancreas, not alpha cells. b.) Insulin - This hormone is secreted by beta cells in the pancreas. c.) Cortisol - This hormone is secreted by the adrenal cortex, not the pancreas. d.) Glucagon - This hormone is secreted by alpha cells in the pancreas. It plays a crucial role in regulating blood glucose levels by promoting the release of glucose into the bloodstream.

In summary, the hormone secreted by alpha cells is glucagon.
