The correct answer is: Protection

Sebaceous glands play a crucial role in skin health by producing sebum, an oily substance that helps protect the skin from external factors such as pathogens and environmental stressors. Sebum serves as a natural barrier that helps prevent excessive loss of moisture from the skin and maintains a healthy pH balance. By choosing option A, "Protection," you are acknowledging the key role of sebaceous glands in safeguarding the skin's health and integrity.
