Solution

The correct option is D Testis
Testes are the primary reproductive organs which produce sperms and hormone known as testosterone. This hormone is important for sexual development and puberty i.e., development of secondary sexual characteristics like facial hair, sexual behaviour etc.
The ovary is the female reproductive organ which produces the mature ovum which further fuses with sperm to form a zygote.
Pancreas is a heterocrine gland which secretes insulin, glucagon and somatostatin as endocrine and pancreatic juice an exocrine gland.
Adrenal are endocrine glands, which secretes various cortisol.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
