epidermis
B
dermis
C
hypodermis
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Papillary dermis: The papillary layer is the top layer of your dermis. It’s much thinner than the reticular dermis. It consists of collagen fibers, fibroblast cells, fat cells, blood vessels (capillary loops), nerve fibers, touch receptors (Meissner corpuscles) and cells that fight bacteria (phagocytes).

Detailed explanation-2: -The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen and elastin fibers of this layer form a loose mesh. This superficial layer of the dermis projects into the stratum basale of the epidermis to form finger-like dermal papillae (see [link]).

Detailed explanation-3: -The dermal papilla is a population of mesenchymal cells that reside just under the hair follicle.
