Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Hormones travel via the bloodstream (e.g., thyroxine to cells), ensuring distant delivery in endocrine signaling. Lymphatic system aids immunity/fluid, not primary hormone transport secondary at best. Nerve axons carry neurotransmitters, not hormones neural domain. Cell membranes host receptors, not travel routes. Bloodstream's circulatory path distinguishes it, key to endocrine distribution, unlike lymphatic, neural, or static options.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Pituitary gland, in the brain's sella turcica, secretes hormones (e.g., GH, TSH) master gland. Adrenals sit atop kidneys, not brain. Pancreas is abdominal, glucose-focused. Parathyroids are neck-based, calcium regulators. Pituitary's intracranial location distinguishes it, critical for endocrine control, unlike external glands.
