  • A. Sublingual - below the tongue

  • D. Lacrimal - above the lateral end of the eye

Explanation

Humans have three paired major salivary glands (parotid, submandibular, and sublingual) While the lacrimal gland is located within the orbit above the lateral end of the eye. It continually releases fluid which cleanses and protects the eye's surface as it lubricates and moistens it. These lacrimal secretions are commonly known as tears.
