Solution

The correct option is C Epidermis
Epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin. It is made of flat cells called squamous cells. Basal cells are present under the squamous cells. Melanocytes are the deepest part of the epidermis that produce melanin which is responsible for skin color. Thus the correct answer is option B.
