List the layers of the epidermis in order, starting from the outermost to the innermost.

  1. Corneum, lucidum, granulosum, spinosum, germinativum

  2. Germinativum, spinosum, granulosum, lucidum, corneum

  3. Lucidum, corneum, granulosum, spinosum, germinativum

  4. Spinosum, granulosum, lucidum, corneum, germinativum

The correct answer is: Corneum, lucidum, granulosum, spinosum, germinativum

The correct order of the layers of the epidermis are corneum, lucidum, granulosum, spinosum, germinativum. Option B is incorrect because it lists the layers in reverse order. Option C is incorrect because it starts with lucidum, which is typically found only in the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Option D is incorrect because it starts with spinosum, which is the second deepest layer of the epidermis. The germinativum layer is the innermost layer, responsible for new cell growth, making option A the correct answer.
