Correct option  (d) different cells

Explanation:

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 lslets of Langerhans' (1--2% of gland). Cells of this region are concerned with secretion of pancreatic hormones.
