Solution

The correct option is A Perimetrium

Connective tissues, as the name suggests, link and support other tissues of the body.

The uterus is a secondary ses organ of females and is also referred to as the womb. It exhibits responsiveness to the female sex hormones. It is composed of 3 layers- perimetrium, myometrium and endometrium.

Perimetrium is the outermost thin layer. It is composed of simple squamous epithelium and areolar connective tissues.

Myometrium is the middle layer made up of thick, smooth muscles (involuntary muscles whose contraction can’t be controlled by the will of a person).

Stratum corneum and stratum germinativum are parts of the epidermis of our skin.

Stratum germinativum is the basal layer of the epidermis of the skin. This layer is the closest to the blood vessels lying underneath the epidermis. This layer is composed of keratinocytes made up of cuboidal and columnar cells. These cells divide continuously to provide new skin cells to replace the ones lost due to normal shedding.

Stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the skin. It is composed of keratinocytes which are squamous epithelial cells.
