Answer
A
They are both exocrine glands.
B
They are both located in the cutaneous membrane.
C
They both secrete a substance that keeps skin soft and moist.
D
They both regulate body temperature.

Explanation

Both sweat glands and sebaceous glands are exocrine glands, meaning they release their secretions through ducts. They are also both found in the cutaneous membrane, or skin. Sebaceous glands secrete oil that softens and moisturizes skin, but sweat glands do not; sweat helps regulate body temperature, while sebaceous glands do not.
