Which glands secrete sebum to the hair and scalp?

  1. Sweat glands

  2. Sebaceous glands

  3. Apocrine glands

  4. Eccrine glands

The correct answer is: Sebaceous glands

Sebaceous glands produce and secrete sebum, a waxy, oily substance, to lubricate and protect the hair and scalp. Sweat glands (A) produce sweat to cool the body, apocrine glands (C) produce sweat that is odorless until bacteria breaks it down, and eccrine glands (D) also produce sweat for cooling but are not located near the hair and scalp. Therefore, B is the most accurate answer.
