Accepted Answer

Exocrine glands are made up of epithelial tissue and they secrete substances such as sweat, saliva, or digestive enzymes through ducts to a surface or cavity.

Option C is incorrect because exocrine glands have ducts, whereas endocrine glands are ductless. Option D is incorrect because exocrine glands secrete a variety of substances, not just sweat.
