Solution
The correct option is A Glandular epithelium Glandular epithelium is a tissue which has two types of glands i.e.; Exocrine glands (secretes chemicals outside the body or the ducts) and Endocrine glands (secrete chemicals or hormones through the ducts inside the body). These exocrine glands are responsible for the secretion of the sebaceous glands. They produce saliva from salivary glands, milk from mammary glands and sweat from sebaceous glands, all these secretions are outside the body or ducts.
