Solution

The correct option is C
Oil Glands

Oil glands are present under the epidermal layer of the skin along with the sweat glands. Whenever the skin becomes dry, the brain sends a signal to the oil glands to release a little amount of oil to the surface to prevent our skin from getting cracks from drying.
