Solution
The correct option is A Stratum Malpighii
Epidermis is the outer part of skin, which is keratinised and composed of stratified squamous epithelium layers. In the structure of epidermis on the basis of shape of cells and cytoplasm, there are five stratum -
(1) Stratum Malpighii
(2) Stratum spinosum
(3) Stratum granulosum
(4) Stratum lucidum
(5) Stratum corneum
An innermost stratum of epidermis consisting of one layer of cells is called as stratum Malpighii. It is also called as stratum basale. Cells are cubical or columnar in shape. In this stratum two types of cells are present.(i) Melanocytes - They are called pigmented dendritic cell. These cells are formed by modification of cell which lies at the junction of epidermis and dermis. (ii) Keratinocytes - They get their nutrition from underlying connective tissue of dermis and divide to form another stratum of the epidermis.
