Solution

failed
failed

The answer is (C): epidermis, dermis, hypodermis.

Explanation for each option:

(A) cortex, medulla, follicle - These terms are related to hair structure, not the regions of the skin. The cortex and medulla are parts of the hair shaft, and the follicle is the structure in the skin from which the hair grows.

(B) papillary layer, reticular layer, sebaceous gland - The papillary and reticular layers are parts of the dermis, but the sebaceous gland is a type of gland found in the skin, not a region of the skin itself.

(C) epidermis, dermis, hypodermis - These are the three main regions of the skin. The epidermis is the outermost layer, the dermis is the middle layer, and the hypodermis (also known as the subcutaneous layer) is the innermost layer.

(D) meissner corpuscle, adipose cell, arrector muscle - These are components found within the skin. Meissner corpuscles are sensory receptors, adipose cells are fat cells, and arrector muscles are small muscles attached to hair follicles.

In summary, option (C) correctly identifies the three main regions of the skin.
