Epidermal layer

Papillary layer

The deep layer of the dermis is called the reticular layer, not to be confused with the superficial layer, the papillary layer, which lies just above it. The epidermal layer is not part of the dermis, but rather the outermost layer of the skin. The subcutaneous layer, also known as the hypodermis, is not part of the dermis but rather a layer of fat and connective tissue underneath it. Therefore, the correct answer is C reticular layer.
