The outer layer of the epidermis is the ___ layer.

  1. Basal cell

  2. Granular

  3. Stratum corneum

  4. Stratum lucidum

The correct answer is: Basal cell

The stratum lucidum is the layer of the epidermis located between the stratum corneum and the stratum granulosum. The stratum granulosum is the layer below the stratum lucidum. The stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the epidermis, consisting of flattened, dead cells. The basal cell layer, also known as the stratum basale, is the bottommost layer of the epidermis and contains actively dividing cells that give rise to new skin cells. Therefore, of the given options, the correct answer is "A Basal cell." The other options are incorrect because they are not the outer layer of the epidermis.
