dermis
B
epidermis
C
hypodermis
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Eccrine sweat glands occur over most of the body and open directly onto the skin’s surface. Apocrine glands open into the hair follicle, leading to the surface of the skin. Apocrine glands develop in areas with many hair follicles, such as on the scalp, armpits and groin.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sweat Gland (Sudoriferous Gland) These glands are located in the epidermis and produce moisture (sweat) that is secreted through tiny ducts onto the surface of the skin (stratum corneum). When sweat evaporates, skin temperature is lowered.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sweat glands are simple coiled tubular structure, consisting of a deeper secretory part and an excretory part which runs upwards to open on the surface. These are found in the dermis of the skin.

Detailed explanation-4: -The sweat glands are simple tubular exocrine glands that are found in the superficial hypodermis bordering on the dermis. They discharge their contents onto the surface of the skin via coiled secretory ducts (see the diagram opposite). The ducts open out onto epidermal ridges at a sweat pore.

Detailed explanation-5: -Where are sebaceous glands located on my body? Sebaceous glands develop on or near your hair follicles in the second layer of your skin (dermis). You have thousands of sebaceous glands all over your body. The only place where you don’t have sebaceous glands are on the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet.
