Answer: 2. Cholecystokinin and secretin

Hormones of the gut control pancreatic secretion.

Secretin acts on pancreatic acinar cells to release water and bicarbonate ions. Cholecystokinin (CCK) stimulates release of pancreatic enzymes and gall bladder contraction. Both are released by the duodenal mucosa when acidic chyme enters it.

Gastrin acts on gastric glands, insulin and glucagon control blood sugar, and angiotensin and epinephrine act on blood pressure, so the other options are wrong.
