Solution

The correct option is A Directly into blood
Endocrine glands lack ducts and are hence, called ductless glands. Their secretions are called hormones. Hormone as a chemical produced by endocrine glands and released into the blood and transported to a distantly located target organ.

Endocrine glands are glands of the endocrine system that secrete their products, hormones, directly into the blood rather than through a duct.
So, the correct answer is option A.
