Cerumen, commonly known as ear - wax, is formed partly from the secretions of glands in the external ear canal. Glands in the ear canal secrete substances that combine to form cerumen which helps protect the ear. Other options like scents are not formed in the ear canal, mucus is more associated with nasal and other mucosal membranes, sweat is produced by sweat glands in the skin not specifically in ear canal for this purpose, and sebum is an oily secretion mainly from sebaceous glands not the main component of what's formed in the ear canal.
