{'endocrine glands': [0, 1, 0, 1], 'adrenal': [5, 0, 4, 1], 'pituitary': [9, 0, 5, 2], 'ovary': [4, 0, 1, 3], 'testis': [3, 0, 1, 1], 'humans': [1, 0, 0, 3]}

The adrenal, testis, and ovary glands in the human body are found in pairs. Adrenal glands are found on top of each kidney; a pair of testis is located in the scrotum of males; and for females, a pair of ovaries is located in the pelvic cavity. However, the pituitary gland is a single, pea-sized gland located at the base of the brain. Hence, it is not found in pair, thus making option 2, "Pituitary," the correct answer for the question.
