Solution

The correct option is A Stratum granulosum
The stratum granulosum layer is the granular third layer of the epidermis in humans.
Keratohyalin is a protein which forms dense cytoplasmic granules in this layer and helps in keratinization.
It causes the dehydration of the cell as well as cross-linking of the keratin fibres.
So, the correct answer is 'Stratum granulosum'.
