As we have discussed in Mammary Gland or Breast -

  • In human beings, mammary glands are one pair and present on the ventral thoracic wall. 
  • They are modified sweat glands. In males, it is rudimentary, whereas in females it is well developed. 
  • Hormone estrogen and progesterone are responsible for their development. 

Hence, the correct option is (a).
