Solution

The correct option is D Pituitary gland
Pars nervosa is a part of the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland known as neurohypophysis. It is glandular in nature and the storage site for the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin. The posterior lobe develops from the diencephalon of the brain. Hormones of the neurohypophysis are transported to the pituitary gland from the hypothalamus by the specialised portal system which is known as the hypophysial portal system.
So, the correct answer is 'Pituitary gland'.
