Solution

The correct option is B
The various components of skin are sweat glands, hair, and nails, melanin, sebaceous glands and mammary glands.

Sweat glands regulate temperature and remove waste by secreting sweat.
They occur all over the body. Each sweat gland is a simple coiled tube consisting of a deeper secretory part and an excretory part which runs upwards to open on the surface.
