Solution
The correct option is D Sebaceous gland
In vertebrates, at the lateral surface of the hair follicle, two structures are attached.
(a) Sebaceous gland- Simple branched alveolar gland, their secretion is called as sebum which is oily secretion which makes hairs and skin around hairs oily example fur of the rabbit. Sebaceous or oil glands are holocrine in nature (complete cytoplasm is destroyed during secretion). In whale and seal (aquatic mammals), sebaceous glands are completely absent.
(b) Erector pili muscles- These are involuntary muscles. When they contract hair comes in an erect position. Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
