Ans: A
Feedback:
The major difference between apocrine glands and the eccrine glands is that apocrine glands secrete an oily substance. Apocrine glands are less widely distributed than eccrine glands, and they do not contribute as significantly to thermoregulation. Neither is a major contributor to skin pH.
