i, ii, iii
i, ii, iv
i only
i, ii, iv
Answers (1)
Statement (i) is incorrect because the liver does not secrete cholesterol. Instead, the liver plays a role in cholesterol synthesis and metabolism. It is responsible for degrading steroid hormones, vitamins, and drugs, but it does not directly secrete them.
Statement (ii) is incorrect because sebaceous glands primarily secrete sebum, which is an oily substance. They do not eliminate urea or sterols.
Statement (iii) is incorrect because sweat, produced by sweat glands, is primarily composed of water, electrolytes (such as sodium chloride), and small amounts of other substances. It is not an oily fluid.
Statement (iv) is incorrect because hemodialysis is a process used to remove waste products, such as urea, from the blood in patients with kidney failure. However, it does not remove glucose.
Hence the correct answer is option 3 having statement 1 only.
