Question 15

To solve this, we analyze the word parts. "Papillo-" relates to nipple (from Latin "papilla" meaning nipple), "mat-" (or the root for many in the context of growths) and "-osis" means condition. Let's check each option:

• Acanthosis: "Acantho-" relates to spiny, not nipple.
• Granulomatosis: "Granulo-" relates to granules, not nipple.
• Papillomatosis: "Papillo-" (nipple), "mat-" (many, in terms of growths), "-osis" (condition) matches.
• Sarcoma: Relates to connective tissue cancer, no nipple/many/condition roots.

The skin has layers. The dermis is the inner layer with blood vessels, nerves, etc., and is called "true skin" as it's the living, structural layer. Hair follicle is a structure, epidermis is outer (mostly dead), subcutaneous is fat layer.

Answer:

C. papillomatosis
