B is the correct answer. Good luck :)
Answer:
A) stratum basale.
Explanation:
The epidermal layer consists of five layers. This is not having any blood vessels and known as avascular. The four-layer starting from stratum basale to stratum corneum is referred to as thin skin. But the skins of foot and palm has another layer called stratum lucidum. This layer forms the five layers of the epidermis.
The stratum basale is the deep layer of the epidermis. Below this layer dermis is present. This layer consists of basal cells which are precursors of keratinocyte cells. The stratum basale is a single layer cell and it undergoes continual mitosis. So that this cell produces new cells and these new cells replace the other older cells above it.
As the basal cells are precursors of keratinocytes, they produce all keratinocytes of the epidermis.
Two other types of cells are produced from this layer - Merkel cell, and melanocyte. Merkel cells act as touch receptors and melanocytes produce melanin pigments.

Answer:
- Modern camels are more related to Camelops than to Aepycamelus.
- Pliauchenia and Oxydactylus may share similar feautres.
- Procamelus and Stenomylous may share similar features.
Explanation:
The chart given explains how the camels are evolved between Eocene (33 myo) and Pleistocene.
- According to the chart, modern-day camels (Camelus) are a closer phylogenetic relative of Camelops because they are clustered together in the Pleistocene age section. However, Aepycamelus is last recorded in the Upper Miocene and later became extinct (or no record is found in Pliocene and Pleistocene).
- Pliauchenia and Oxydactylus have a single ancestor "Protylopus" which can be seen in the Eocene age. Although Protylopus were branched to two species in upper Miocene, it is not difficult to believe that they share many genetic similarities (features) in both lineages.
- Similarly, Procamelus and Stenomylous are the descendants of Poebrotherium and got apart at the end of the Oligocene, therefore, they will also share several features similar to each other.
