Detailed Solution

Concept: During human puberty, modified apocrine sweat glands are triggered by hormonal stimulus. Other mammals also have more of these apocrine glands than humans do. Additionally, apocrine glands have undergone a number of changes that have led to the formation of specific, secretory glands.
Milk-secreting glands are mammary glands. The tubules of apocrine sweat glands release fatty sweat. Usually, these glands are connected to hair follicles. When under emotional stress, tubule walls constrict. These cause fatty secretions to be released and go to the skin, where they are converted to fatty acids.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
