The right option is; b. exocytosis

These digestive enzymes are excreted from pancreas cells by exocytosis.

Exocytosis is a form of active transport in which a cell exports molecules such as enzymes, and neurotransmitters out of the cell by using vesicular transport. Exocytosis is used by many cells because it allows the movement of large molecules through the cell membrane. Cells of the pancreas synthesize digestive enzymes that help in digestion through exocytosis.
