Solution
The correct option is C Panniculus carnosus
The panniculus carnosus is a sheath of dermal (skin) muscle, developed in many mammals, that allows the movement of the skin independent of the movement of deeper muscle masses. In humans, the platysma muscle of the neck, palmaris brevis in the hand and the dartos muscle in the scrotum are described as a discrete muscle of the panniculus carnosus. Hence the correct option is C.
