Solution

The correct option is C Pancreas
In liver the toxic ammonia is converted to urea which is filtered by kidney to form urine. Sweat glands help in excretion of excess salts and water in the form of sweat. Hence, both these organs help in excretion. Pancreas on the other hand, secrete the hormones insulin and glucagon and digestive enzymes. Hence, it has endocrine and digestive functions but not excretory functions.
So, the correct answer is 'Pancreas'.
