Solution

The correct option is C Sebaceous gland
  • Specialized glands in the dermis, called sebaceous glands, are responsible for the production of natural oils.
  • Normally, the sebaceous glands, which are present in the deeper layers of the skin, produce sebum to lubricate the skin surface and form a barrier preventing the evaporation of moisture from the top layers of the skin. Hence, the sebaceous gland is the glands present in the skin.
So, the correct answer is 'sebaceous glands'.
