Solution

The correct option is C no ducts
Endocrine glands are also called ductless glands. They do not have ducts to carry their secretions to the specific organ. They pour hormones directly into the blood mainstream to reach to their target organs. Example, thyroid gland.

Exocrine glands are the glands with ducts. Their secretions are carried by ducts example- salivary gland, liver.

The primary function of capillaries is the exchange of materials between the blood and tissue cells.
