What do the sebaceous glands secrete?

  1. Sweat

  2. Sebum

  3. Keratin

  4. Melanin

The correct answer is: Sebum

The sebaceous glands secrete oils called sebum, which are used to lubricate and protect the skin and hair. The other options are incorrect because sweat is secreted by sweat glands, keratin is a protein found in hair and nails, and melanin is produced by melanocytes in the skin to give it color. Sebaceous glands specifically secrete sebum, so B is the best answer choice.
