DSweat glands

Answer:

A. Oil glands

Read Explanation:

  • Meibomian glands are modified oil glands (sebaceous glands).
    Meibomian glands, located along the rims of the eyelids inside the tarsal plates, are specialized sebaceous glands that produce an oily substance called meibum. This oily secretion forms the outer lipid layer of the tear film, which helps prevent evaporation of tears and maintains eye surface moisture. These glands function by holocrine secretion, similar to typical oil glands, but are unique to the eyelids and crucial for eye health.
