The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following pairs is mismatched, we will analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Glands and Their Hormones:** - We have several endocrine glands and the hormones they secrete. We need to check if the hormone listed corresponds correctly to the gland mentioned. 2. **Evaluate Each Option:** - **Option A: Pituitary Gland - ACTH** - The pituitary gland secretes ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone), which is correct. - **Option B: Testes - Testosterone** - The testes secrete testosterone, which is also correct. - **Option C: Pancreas - Calcitonin** - The pancreas primarily secretes insulin and glucagon.

This pair is incorrect. - **Option D: Pineal Gland - Melatonin** - The pineal gland secretes melatonin, which is correct. 3. **Conclusion:** - The mismatched pair is **Option C: Pancreas - Calcitonin** since calcitonin is not secreted by the pancreas but by the thyroid gland. ### Final Answer: The mismatched pair is **C: Pancreas - Calcitonin**. ---
