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.
