Solution

The correct option is A True
Answer: True.​ ​
  • The epidermis is the outer thinner part of the skin.​
  • But, at some places the epidermis becomes thick and hard.​
  • This is because these areas receive more friction than other areas of the body, and thicker skin helps to protect from potential damage.​
  • Thick epidermis is found on the palms, soles, and especially on the heels
