Solution

The correct option is C

Pancreas


Pancreas, as an exocrine gland, excretes enzymes to break down the proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids in food. As an endocrine gland, pancreas secretes two hormones - insulin and glucagon - to control blood sugar levels throughout the day.
