The lactiferous ducts in the mammary gland are responsible for storing and releasing milk during breastfeeding. After milk is produced in the alveoli, it is transported through a network of ducts within the breast. These ducts converge and form larger lactiferous ducts, which act as storage reservoirs for milk. When a baby suckles at the nipple, it triggers the release of stored milk through the lactiferous ducts, allowing it to be accessible for breastfeeding. Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
