A
when it gets contact with dirt and blocks the pores
B
when it blocks foreign things from entering the skin
C
when it inhibits the hair from growing
D
when it makes the skin moist
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In elderly men, sebum levels remain essentially unchanged from those of younger adults until the age of 80. In women, sebaceous secretion decreases gradually after menopause and shows no significant change after the 7th decade.

Detailed explanation-2: -These surface lipids keep the skin hydrated and healthy. Having too much or too little sebum can cause skin problems. Excess sebum production can lead to oily skin or acne, while an underproduction of sebum can result in dry, itchy, or flaky skin.

Detailed explanation-3: -When the sebaceous glands produce too much sebum, it can lead to clogged pores and acne. If you have oily skin, you may be more susceptible to developing acne. That’s because excess sebum can mix with dead skin cells and bacteria, which can clog pores and lead to breakouts.
