Solution
The correct option is B Stratum granulosum Keratohyalin is a colorless translucent protein found in the granules in the stratum granulosum of the epidermis, which may be involved in keratinization and in the Hassall's corpuscles in the thymus. Keratohyalin is associated with eleidin, which is the intermediate between keratohyalin and keratin.
