Solution
The correct option is B Lacrimal and meibomian
The lacrimal gland lies within the orbit on the outer portion of the upper eye. The gland continually secretes tears, which moisten, lubricate, and protect the eye. Meibomian gland is a type of gland in the eyelids, that makes a lubricant called as sebum, which is discharged through tiny openings in the edges of the lids. It is responsible for the supply of meibum, an oily substance that prevents evaporation of the eye's tear film and frictionless blinking.
