Answer 1

Answer:

C. Parotid

The parotid gland is the largest salivary gland in humans. Humans have three pairs of major salivary glands: the parotid gland, the submandibular gland, and the sublingual gland. The submandibular glands are smaller than the parotid glands, and the sublingual glands are the smallest of the major salivary glands.
