The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the embryonic origin of the pancreas. We need to identify which of the three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, or endoderm) the pancreas develops from. 2. **Identifying the Germ Layers**: - **Ectoderm**: This layer gives rise to structures such as the nervous system (brain and spinal cord), skin, and sensory organs (eyes, ears). - **Mesoderm**: This layer forms the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and gonads (reproductive organs). - **Endoderm**: This layer develops into the internal organs, including the digestive tract and associated glands. 3. **Relating to the Pancreas**: The pancreas is an organ that plays a crucial role in digestion and blood sugar regulation. It is part of the digestive system. 4. **Determining the Origin**: The pancreas develops from the endodermal layer during embryonic development. This is consistent with other organs such as the liver and lungs, which also arise from the endoderm. 5. **Selecting the Correct Option**: Given the options: - A. Ectodermal - B. Mesodermal - C. Endodermal - D. None of the above The correct answer is **C. Endodermal**. **Final Answer**: The pancreas is endodermal in origin (Option C). ---
