The correct option is B Holocrine
Holocrine is a term used to classify the mode of secretion in exocrine glands. Holocrine secretions are produced in the cytoplasm of the cell and released by the rupture of the plasma membrane, which destroys the cell and results in the secretion of the product into the lumen. Sebaceous glands of the skin and the meibomian glands of the eyelid are holocrine glands. The sebaceous gland is an example of a holocrine gland, because it's product of secretion (sebum) is released with remnants of dead cells.
