Cell’s in these layers are in the process of dying.
A
Stratum Spinosum
B
Stratum Basale
C
Stratum Lucidum
D
Stratum Granulosum
E
Stratum Corneum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The keratinocytes from the squamous layer are then pushed up through two thin epidermal layers called the stratum granulosum and the stratum lucidum. As these cells move further towards the surface of the skin, they get bigger and flatter and adhere together, and then eventually become dehydrated and die.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stratum granulosum, 3-5 cell layers, contains diamond shaped cells with keratohyalin granules and lamellar granules. Keratohyalin granules contain keratin precursors that eventually aggregate, crosslink, and form bundles.

Detailed explanation-3: -The stratum granulosum (or granular layer) is a thin layer of cells in the epidermis lying above the stratum spinosum and below the stratum corneum (stratum lucidum on the soles and palms). Keratinocytes migrating from the underlying stratum spinosum become known as granular cells in this layer.
