Solution
The correct option is A Abdominal gland
Ducts are present inside spiders through which the silk flows before exiting the spider. The silk consists of liquid proteins. When the liquid enters the duct, cells draw water away from the silk proteins and it is transformed into a solid fiber as it is pulled through the spider's acidic silk glands also known as spinneret glands. Spiders can have two to eight spinnerets. Spinneret glands are located at the tip of their abdomen hence also known abdominal gland. Thus the correct answer is option A.
