Which gland is responsible for the secretion of sebum?

Apocrine gland
Melanocyte
Sebaceous gland
Sudoriferous gland

The correct answer is: Apocrine gland

The correct answer for the gland responsible for the secretion of sebum is the sebaceous gland. The sebaceous glands are located in the skin and produce an oily substance called sebum, which helps keep the skin and hair lubricated and moisturized. Apocrine glands are responsible for producing sweat, not sebum. Melanocytes produce melanin, which gives skin its color. While the sudoriferous gland does produce sweat, it is not responsible for the production of sebum.
