Final answer:

The level of authorization required for a LPN to administer injections below the dermis is complex restricted activities.

Step-by-step explanation:

The level of authorization required for a LPN to administer anything by an invasive procedure on body tissue below the dermis for the purposes of administering subcutaneous injections is c) Complex restricted activities.

This level of authorization involves performing invasive procedures beyond entry-level and supervisory activities. It requires a higher level of skill, knowledge, and competency to safely administer injections below the dermis.

LPNs with complex restricted activities authorization have undergone additional training and have demonstrated proficiency in performing these procedures.
