I am sorry friends but the question should have read "which of the following mineralocorticoids is produced by the zona fasiculata".What would be your ans then?

in deed, the principal product in zone fasciculata is the cortisol. however ,A small amount of corticosterone is formed as a by-product of cortisol synthesis. because the question states " which mirelarocorticoid " the better answer is B.

True, deoxycorticosterone, a weaker mineralocorticoid, is generated during corticosterone synthesis pathway, though not a major pathway in zona fasciculata.
