Solution

The correct option is A True
The lacrimal glands release their secretions directly onto the eyeball and are thus, classified as the serous type of exocrine glands.
The lacrimal glands secrete tears which act to lubricate and protect the cornea and eyeball from injury which may result from small particles such as dust.
