Solution

The correct options are
A
It removes wastes

B
It cools the body

Sweat is mainly water, but it also contains some salts that need to be removed from the body as waste. Its main function is to control body temperature. As the water in the sweat evaporates, the surface of the skin cools. Thus sweat removes waste from the body and cools it down as well.
