Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Pancreas is a mixed gland (heterocrine gland) with both exocrine and endocrine portion.
The exocrine portion of pancreas consists of pancreatic acini (98-99% of gland), which is concerned with the secretion of pancreatic juice.
The endocrine portion of pancreas consists of clusters of cells called 'Islets of Langerhans' (1-2% of gland). Cells of this region are concerned with secretion of pancreatic hormones.
