Solution

The correct option is B Crop glands
The milk is a specific product of glands in the crops of male and female pigeons, just as cow's milk is the product of udder. These crop glands are capable of producing 'pigeon's milk' from the sixteenth day of incubation. It is formed by the degeneration of the epithelial cells lining the crop.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
