Answer»

Correct option is (c) HORMONES are secreted through DUCTS in the bloodstream

To explain I would say: Endocrine glands lack ducts and are hence, known as DUCTLESS glands. Their secretions are called hormones. As these glands do not have ducts, therefore they RELEASE their secretions DIRECTLY into the bloodstream.
