The correct answer is:
A:glucagon, B:insulin
The α-cells of the Islets of Langerhans are responsible for the secretion of glucagon. Glucagon is responsible for glycogenolysis. Hence, it causes hyperglycemia. The β-cells of the Islet of Langerhans are responsible for the secretion of insulin. Insulin is responsible for glycogenesis and hence caused hypoglycemia.
