A microslide contains the specimen of a gland composed of several secretory saccule-shaped parts that open in the common excretory duct. What gland is it?
- A. Simple branched tubular gland
- B. Simple unbranched alveolar gland
- C. Simple branched alveolar gland
- D. Compound branched alveolar gland
- E. Compound unbranched alveolar gland
