Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The dermis is the layer of skin below the epidermis. Below the dermis is the subcutaneous layer. It contains connective tissue from collagen and elastic fibers giving skin its elasticity. It contains nerve fibers sensitive to heat and touch. Glands - like sebaceous & sweat glands, hair follicles, and blood capillaries that supply the skin, are found in this layer.
