a neck
b forehead
c axilla
d palms of the hands

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Apocrine sweat glands are coiled tubular glands. They are larger than eccrine sweat glands. They are mainly located in the axilla (armpit), groin, areola of the breast, and around the anus. These glands secrete a thicker fluid compared to eccrine glands. The secretion of apocrine glands can be influenced by hormonal changes (such as during puberty) and emotional stress. In contrast, eccrine glands are more abundant on the palms of the hands, forehead, and neck.

Answer:

C. axilla
