Answer: (C)

Pancreas

Sweat glands help in the excretion of some drugs, ammonia, urea, electrolytes, water in the form of sweat.

Pancreas is a mixed gland. It's helps in regulating the metabolism of carbohydrates. It also produces enzymes that help in digestion. It doesn't have any excretory action.

So the correct option is c.
