Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

Eccrine glands are the glands that secrete sweat through your skin. These glands are found all over your body and produce a clear, odorless liquid that helps regulate your body temperature. The sweat produced by eccrine glands is composed of mostly water, with small amounts of electrolytes and other substances.
Sebaceous glands, on the other hand, produce sebum, which is an oily substance that lubricates and protects your skin and hair. Mammary glands produce milk after childbirth, while apocrine glands produce a thicker, more odorous sweat that is linked to emotional and stress-related sweating.
