Answer:

The correct answer is option sebaceous glands.

Explanation:

The dermis layer has two glands sweat and sebaceous glands. Sebaceous glands are associated with skin hair follicles and produce a lipid-rich substance having minerals and proteins.

Sebaceous glands also assist the skin to inhibit or protect from microbial growth due to the presence of some fatty acid and lipids.

Thus, the correct answer is option - sebaceous glands.
