The correct answer is D) 3 only.
You need a process where hormones from both glands are involved:
Calcium is handled by parathyroid hormone, calcitonin and vitamin D. No adrenal or pancreatic hormone plays a main role.
Sodium reabsorption in the kidney is aldosterone, which is adrenal only.
Blood glucose is controlled by insulin and glucagon (pancreas) and also by cortisol and adrenaline (adrenal).
So it's 3 only.
