Solution
The correct option is D Tissue in an organ
The pancreas contains both exocrine as well as endocrine tissue parts. Most of the part of pancreatic tissue is exocrine in nature, while endocrine tissue is seen in the form of Islets of Langerhans.
The endocrine part secretes important hormones like insulin, glucagon, serotonin, etc.
