Solution

The correct option is A Brow spot in embryo
The epiphysis or the pineal body is an endocrine gland that develops from the roof of the diencephalon. During the embryo development, it is connected with the brow spot in the embryo. The brow spot is the region between the two eyes. The cells are considered to be the modified neurological cells. It secretes a hormone called the melatonin that regulates the diurnal cycle of the body. Hence, the correct answer is 'Brow spot in embryo'
