A
Basal, spinosum, granulosum, corneum
B
Basal, spinosum, granulosum, lucidum, corneum
C
Corneum, granulosum, spinosum, basale
D
Granulosum, basal, spinosum, corneum
E
Corneum, lucidum, granulosum, spinosum, basale
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Stratum basale (innermost layer) Thus, a needle would pierce the forearm’s epidermal layers in the order: firstly, corneum, followed by granulosum, spinosum, and finally reaching the basale. Hence, this is the correct option.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: A needle would pierce the epidermal layers of skin (the strata), from superficial to deep, in the order of stratum corneum (being the most superficial), stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum and stratum basale.

Detailed explanation-3: -The epidermis consists of several layers beginning with the innermost (deepest) stratum basale (germinatum), followed by the stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum (when present), and ending with the outermost layer, the stratum corneum.

Detailed explanation-4: -The layers of the epidermis include the stratum basale (the deepest portion of the epidermis), stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, and stratum corneum (the most superficial portion of the epidermis).
