Solution

The correct option is D Pharyngeal gland
Royal jelly is secreted by the hypo-pharyngeal gland (sometimes called as the brood food gland) of young worker (nurse) bees, to feed young larvae and the adult queen bee. Royal jelly is always fed directly to the queen or the larvae as it is secreted; it is not stored.
