The deepest layer of the epidermis is called the basal layer or stratum germinativum. It is responsible for producing new cells that migrate towards the surface and become more flattened as they differentiate into the outer layers of the epidermis. The other options (A, B, C, and E) either refer to different layers of the skin or to skin appendages such as sweat glands, hair follicles, and sebaceous glands.
