Explanation:

Exocrine glands are classified by structure. A branched gland with sac - like (acinar) ends is a compound acinar gland. Simple glands have an unbranched duct, while compound glands have a branched duct. Tubular glands have a tube - like shape, and acinar glands have sac - like secretory parts. Since the gland is branched (compound) and has sacs (acinar) at the end of each branch, it is compound acinar.

A. Compound acinar
