C
they’re found everywhere
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The only place where you don’t have sebaceous glands are on the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. You have the most sebaceous glands on your face and scalp. Sebaceous glands that aren’t attached to your hair follicles are common on your penis, labia, lips or inside of your nose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sebaceous glands are made up of lobules and ducts and true exocrine glands found in all areas of the skin except for the palms, soles, lip, and tops of the feet. The lobules are made up of sebocytes that produce sebum, a fatty material that lubricates hair and has bactericidal and fungicidal properties.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sweat glands are found throughout the skin but are more numerous in areas such as the soles of the feet, palms of the hand, armpits and groin. The body of the gland is made up of a coiled tube, surrounded by a good blood supply, and a duct, which opens onto the skin surface through a pore.
