As we have learnt: 

 

The adrenal cortex is derived from the mesoderm of the embryo.

  • It is subdivided into three zones:

    • Zona glomerulosa: This is the outer zone that lies just below the capsule. It constitutes about 15% of the gland. Mineralocorticoids are secreted from this region. 

    • Zona fasciculata: This is the middle zone which is widest of the three zones. It constitutes about 50% of the gland. Glucocorticoids are secreted from this region.

    • Zona reticularis: This is the inner zone that constitutes about 7% of the gland. Gonadocorticoids are secreted from this region. 

Hence, the correct answer is option c.
