A	fibroblasts
B	plasmocytes
C	adipocytes
D	macrophages
E	tissular basophils

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The papillary dermis is the superficial layer, lying deep to the epidermis. The papillary dermis is composed of loose connective tissue that is highly vascular.

Detailed explanation-2: -The three types of loose connective tissue include adipose, areolar and basement membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -Areolar tissue is highly variable in appearance. In many serous membranes, it appears as a loose arrangement of collagenous and elastic fibers, scattered cells of various types; abundant ground substance; numerous blood vessels.

Detailed explanation-4: -Loose connective tissue is not particularly tough, but surrounds blood vessels and provides support to internal organs. Fibrous connective tissue, which is composed of parallel bundles of collagen fibers, is found in the dermis, tendons, and ligaments.
