The gland shown in the image is most likely an endocrine gland, which secretes hormones into the bloodstream. Therefore, the best option is choice C, hormones. The other options (sweat, oil, saliva, earwax) are secreted by exocrine glands, which release their products onto an epithelial surface rather than into the bloodstream.
