Solution

The correct option is B Adipocyte connective tissue
The hypodermis is the subcutaneous layer lying below the dermis; it consists largely of fat cells (adipocyte cells). It provides the main structural support for the skin, as well as insulating the body from cold and aiding shock absorption. It is interlaced with blood vessels and nerves.
So, the correct answer is option B.
