Solution

The correct option is B Secreted into the blood stream
Endocrine, or ductless, glands (e.g., pituitary, thyroid, adrenal) secrete substances known as hormones directly into the bloodstream rather than through ducts.
Exocrine glands (e.g., salivary, sweat, digestive) discharge their products through ducts.
