Solution

The correct option is C Pancreas
The pancreas is an organ that is found in the belly. It's responsible for transforming the food we ingest into energy for our bodies' cells. The pancreas has two primary functions: exocrine digestion and endocrine blood sugar regulation, hence acts as both exocrine and endocrine gland.
