Solution
The correct option is C Pancreas
Pancreas acts both as endocrine (ductless) and exocrine (with duct) gland. It works as exocrine gland as it excretes enzymes to break down the proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids in food and helps in digestion. It works as endocrine gland as it secretes the hormones insulin and glucagon to control blood sugar levels throughout the day. Hence option C is correct.
