Answer;

-Holocrine secretions

Explanation;

-Holocrine secretions are produced in the cytoplasm of the cell and released by the rupture of the plasma membrane, which destroys the cell and results in the secretion of the product into the lumen.

-The holocrine gland releases its secretions by disintegrating the whole cell So the entire cell breaks down to release what's called sebum, and thus, another name for holocrine glands are sebaceous glands sebaceous because they release sebum.
