In the postabsorptive state, epinephrine and glucagon are the main stimulating hormones for glycogenolysis. Epinephrine triggers the release of stored glycogen from the liver and skeletal muscles, while glucagon increases blood glucose levels by stimulating glycogenolysis in the liver. Cortisol also plays a role in glycogenolysis but is not considered a main stimulating hormone in the process. Therefore, choice D (Epinephrine and Glucagon) is the best choice.
