  4. DAssertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true

Correct answer

C. Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false

Assertion (A) is true because glands that secrete earwax, milk, and digestive enzymes are exocrine glands. Exocrine glands release their secretions through ducts or tubes. Reason (R) is false because these glands are exocrine, not endocrine. Endocrine glands are ductless and release their products (hormones) directly into the fluid bathing the gland.
