Final answer:
The (B) sebaceous glands are responsible for secreting oil, known as sebum, onto the surface of the skin for lubrication and protection.
Explanation:
The gland responsible for secreting oil onto the surface of the skin is the sebaceous gland. These glands produce a lipid mixture called sebum, which provides water resistance and lubrication to the skin and hair.
Sebaceous glands are intimately associated with hair follicles and are found over most of the body.
The other glands listed, such as sudoriferous and eccrine glands, are involved in sweat production, while mammary glands produce milk, and ceruminous glands produce ear wax (cerumen).
