If the Golgi apparatus is associated with secretion, we would expect it most abundantly in :
Answer: C
The Golgi would be most abundant in a gland.
The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts and packages proteins into secretory vesicles. Gland cells, such as the acinar cells of the pancreas or the goblet cells of the gut, secrete large amounts of enzymes, hormones or mucus and so have a large, well-developed Golgi.
Muscle cells are specialised for contraction, mature red blood cells have no organelles at all, and bone cells secrete matrix at a far lower rate than gland cells. None of them would have as much Golgi as a secretory gland.
