Answer:

The correct answer is option c. "Ceruminous glands produce a waxy substance which protects the genitals".

Step-by-step explanation:

It is incorrect that ceruminous glands produce a waxy substance which protects the genitals. The ceruminous glands are not located in the genital area, ceruminous glands are specialized sudoriferous glands located in the the external auditory canal. A normal ear have between 1,000 and 2,000 ceruminous glands, which produce the ear wax that protects this zone.
