Final answer:
The Apocrine gland is the type of sudoriferous gland attached to hair follicles and releases secretions through them. These are distinct from sebaceous glands that produce oil. The correct option is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The type of sudoriferous gland that is attached to hair follicles and releases secretions through the hair follicles is the B) Apocrine gland. Apocrine glands are found in areas with a high concentration of hair, such as the armpits and genital regions.
These glands are responsible for producing sweat that includes not only water and salts but also organic compounds, which make the sweat thicker and more likely to produce an odor when broken down by bacteria. The apocrine sweat is distinctive because its release is influenced by nervous and hormonal factors, which can be related to the human pheromone response.
Sebaceous glands, on the other hand, produce an oily substance known as sebum, which lubricates the skin and hair. Unlike apocrine glands, sebaceous glands are not a type of sweat gland.
