d) all of the above
Glucagon and epinephrine (adrenaline) are signals that your body needs more energy immediately - thus they stimulate the liver to break down glycogen to glucose, stimulate gluconeogenesis and the rise of glucose in the blood. These are generally opposed by insulin, which promotes intake of glucose, and (to some degree) storage when energy is high.

is this for a test you are taking?
i know b and c are true, and i don't know what "flycogen" is, but glycogen is broken down into glucose in the liver by both glucagon and adrenaline.
so the answer is D

d.
Think fight or flight; you need energy to do both and energy in the body is glucose.
