Solution

The correct option is A Thyroid
An endocrine system is a group of organs composed of glands that secrete hormones. These hormones have important regulatory functions, such as growth, metabolism and maintaining blood pressure. The thyroid gland is one of the largest endocrine glands in the body. It is located in the neck, just below the larynx and in front of the trachea. It produces two main hormones viz., Triiodothyronine and Thyroxine.
