Answer:

The correct option is B) Papillary

Step-by-step explanation:

The thick layer of skin present between the subcutaneous tissues and the epidermis (outermost layer of skin), is known as the dermis. The dermis consists of elastic and fibrous tissues, which cushions the body from any external stress.

The dermis consists of two sub layers- the papillary region and the reticular dermis.

The papillary dermis is the uppermost layer present in the pepillary region of the dermis.

Therefore, papillary is a stratum or sub-layer of the dermis.
