Explanation

Sebaceous glands are located under the skin and are responsible for secreting sebum, an oily substance that helps lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair. These glands are found all over the body, except for the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Overactive sebaceous glands can lead to oily skin and acne, while underactive glands can result in dry skin. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
