The correct option is D Pancreas
Carboxypeptidase is secreted by exocrine part of pancreas, in form of procarboxypeptidases which in turn is activated by trypsin enzyme. Carboxypeptidases serve to complete the degradation of the short peptides in the small intestine and remove successive carboxyl-terminal residues from peptides.
The gastric glands of stomach produce gastric juice, which contains pepsinogen, HCl, and mucus.
Salivary glands secrete saliva only. Gall bladder secrets bile containing bile salts which in turn are associated with emulsification of fats.
So, the correct option is A.
