Solution

The correct option is B Connective tissue
Dermis or corium is the inner part of skin mainly composed of connective tissue. It is mesodermal in origin. Dermis is derived embryologically from dermatome. Dermis is 2 to 3 times thicker than epidermis. In the structure of dermis there are two parts -
(1) Outer part: Pars papillaris.
(2) Inner part: Pars reticularis.
Hence the correct option is B.
