Which glands produce oil/sebum?

  1. Sudoriferous glands

  2. Salivary glands

  3. Sebaceous glands

  4. Lymph glands

The correct answer is: Sebaceous glands

Sebaceous glands are responsible for producing oil, also known as sebum, which helps to keep the skin and hair moisturized. Sudoriferous glands produce sweat, not oil, while salivary glands produce saliva for digestion. Lymph glands are responsible for filtering and producing lymph, which is not related to the production of oil.
