Chief cells (C) is the right choice. This sits at the heart of Endocrinology: the wording points straight to what is happening in the tissue or organ system.

That reasoning supports Chief cells. One solid sentence about why this works is enough for recall — you do not need a long essay for every MCQ. When you practise, cover the choices first, write Chief cells from memory, then reveal the letter — that habit builds real recall for Endocrinology.
