Accepted Answer

Islet cells (also known as pancreatic islets) are found in the pancreas and produce hormones such as insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin. Therefore, the best choice is D since it correctly identifies the location of islet cells and the hormone they produce. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they wrongly associate the production of hormones with other organs.
