Solution

The correct option is B Bowman's glands
Bowman's glands are olfactory glands present in olfactory mucosa below olfactory epithelium. They contain secretory vesicles. They secrete mucous substances that prevent the nasal epithelium from getting dry out. The secretions from these glands pick up odoriferous substances i.e. the substances that have a particular smell, and stimulate olfactory nerves which carry the information related to smell to the brain.
So, the correct answer is 'Bowman's glands'.
