Solution

The correct option is C
Goose Flesh

Everyone has sometimes experienced "Goose Flesh" during winter or some emotions which causes the hair lift. The contraction of arrector muscles pulls the hair to vertical position at one end and depresses the epidermis at the other end. Arrector muscles runs obliquely between the hair follicle and the outer part of the dermis.
