What do sudoriferous glands produce?

  1. Oil

  2. Pigment

  3. Sebum

  4. Sweat

The correct answer is: Sweat

Sudoriferous glands are also known as sweat glands. These glands are responsible for producing and releasing sweat, which plays a crucial role in regulating body temperature. Sweat is mostly composed of water along with small amounts of salts and other compounds. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because oil is produced by the sebaceous glands, pigment is produced by melanocytes, and sebum is an oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands as well.
