D Correct answer
Explanation

Yes, it is the correct answer. A mammary gland is an organ in female mammals that produces milk to feed young offspring. Mammals get their name from the word mammary. In humans, the mammary glands are situated in the breasts. In ruminants such as cows, goats, and deer, the mammary glands are contained in the udders. These are exocrine glands.
