The outer protective layer of the skin is called the scarf skin or the:

Dermis
Epidermis
Cuticle
Basal layer

The correct answer is: Epidermis

The outer protective layer of the skin is called the epidermis. The dermis (A) is the layer beneath the epidermis and is responsible for providing structure and elasticity to the skin. The cuticle (C) typically refers to the hard, transparent layer on the surface of nails, and is not a term used to describe the skin. The basal layer (D) is the deepest layer of the epidermis and is responsible for producing new skin cells. It is not the outer protective layer of the skin. Therefore, while these options may be related to the skin, they are not the correct term for the outer protective layer.
