Solution
The correct option is D Liver and intestine
Although it is the endocrine glands that are responsible for the secretion of specific hormones, there are many other organs and tissues that contain endocrinocytes (cells that secrete specific hormones) and therefore, release hormones into the body, for example, heart, kidney, intestine, and liver. These are sometimes referred to as non-organised endocrine glands.
