Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Exocrine glands secrete sweat from your sweat glands, tears from your lacrimal glands, saliva from your salivary glands, milk from your mammary glands and more.
Detailed explanation-2: -The sweat produced by the merocrine sweat glands helps the body to cool down in hot conditions. This thermoregulatory function is controlled by the central nervous system, which at higher temperatures triggers the secretion and release of sweat from the merocrine glands.
Detailed explanation-3: -Merocrine (aka, eccrine)-secretory vesicles fuse with the apical plasma membrane to release their products into a duct (e.g. secretion of saliva by salivary glands).
Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct answer is ‘Merocrine’.
