Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

The hypodermis, also known as the subcutaneous tissue, participates in thermoregulation by insulating the body and helping to maintain a stable body temperature. The layer of fat cells in the hypodermis serves as an insulating layer, preventing heat loss from the body. In addition, the hypodermis contains blood vessels that help to regulate blood flow to the skin, which can also help to regulate body temperature.
