The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Pancreas**: The pancreas is located in the abdomen and is known for its dual function. It serves both as an endocrine gland and an exocrine gland. 2. **Statement-I Evaluation**: The first statement claims that the pancreas is considered a dual (mixed) gland. This is correct because the pancreas performs both endocrine and exocrine functions. 3. **Endocrine Function**: The endocrine part of the pancreas consists of clusters of cells known as the islets of Langerhans. These cells include alpha cells, beta cells, and delta cells, which secrete hormones such as insulin and glucagon. 4. **Exocrine Function**: The exocrine part of the pancreas produces digestive enzymes that are secreted into the small intestine to aid in digestion. 5. **Statement-II Evaluation**: The second statement asserts that the pancreas produces enzymes and hormones. This is also correct, as the pancreas produces digestive enzymes through its exocrine function and hormones through its endocrine function. 6. **Conclusion**: Both statements are correct. Therefore, the correct answer is that both Statement-I and Statement-II are true. **Final Answer**: Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct. ---
