The ovary and the Pancreas both serve as an exocrine and also endocrine gland.

An ovary is an organ that has both exocrine and endocrine glandular functions. As an endocrine gland, the ovary produces estrogen and other s*x hormones that are released directly into the bloodstream to affect various tissues throughout the body. As an exocrine gland, the ovary delivers an egg cell through the fallopian tube, which qualifies as a duct, to be delivered onto the surface of the uterus.

Pancreas unctions as an exocrine gland, it excretes enzymes to break down the proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids in food. Functions as an endocrine gland, it secretes the hormones insulin and glucagon to control blood sugar levels throughout the day.

Two options are correct.
