(A). \(\alpha\) cells(I). Somatostatin
(B). \(\beta\) cells(II). Nuclease
(C). Acinar cells(III). Glucagon
(D). \(\delta\) cells(IV). Insulin

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
The pancreas has endocrine islet cells and exocrine acinar cells.

Step 2: Islet cells
Alpha cells secrete glucagon, so (A) goes with (III).
Beta cells secrete insulin, so (B) goes with (IV).
Delta cells secrete somatostatin, so (D) goes with (I).

Step 3: Acinar cells
Acinar cells make pancreatic juice enzymes, including nuclease, so (C) goes with (II).

Final Answer:
The correct matching is (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (I). \[ \boxed{\text{(D) }\text{(A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)}} \]
