Answer 1

The legitimate secretions by the Integumentary System include acidic sweat, sebum, and eccrine gland fluid. Therefore, the correct answer is (a) 1, 3, 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct legitimate secretions of or by the Integumentary System are acidic sweat, sebum, and eccrine (merocrine) gland fluid. Option (a) 1, 3, 4 is the correct answer as these substances are all involved in the functions of the skin. Acidic sweat is secreted by eccrine sweat glands and helps cool the body and provide some antimicrobial protection. Sebum is an oily substance produced by sebaceous glands that lubricates and waterproofs the skin and hair. Eccrine gland fluid, mostly consisting of water, is secreted onto the skin surface to aid in thermoregulation.
