Solution

The correct option is B Ear
B. Ear
Reason: The ceruminous glands are generally found in the skin of the human external auditory canal. Those are modified apocrine glands, which, together with sebaceous glands, produce the cerumen, the ear wax. Cerumen plays a significant role in the protection of the ear canal against physical damage and microbial invasion.
