Solution

The correct option is D Pars distalis and pars intermedia
Hypophysis (pituitary gland) has two parts, adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis. Adenohypophysis is formed of pars distalis (anterior lobe) and pars intermedia (intermediate lobe). Pars intermedia is almost merged with pars distalis in humans. A cleft or sac called Rathke's cleft is present between pars distalis and pars intermedia.
So, the correct answer is 'Pars distalis and pars intermedia'.
