Blood vessels, nerves, sweat and oil glands are found in the:

  1. epidermis

  2. dermis

  3. cuticle layer

  4. scarf skin

The correct answer is: dermis

The dermis is the correct answer because it is the layer of skin that contains blood vessels, nerves, sweat glands, and oil glands. The epidermis is the outermost layer of skin and does not contain these structures. The cuticle layer is a term commonly used for the thin, transparent outer layer of skin on the nail plate, not the skin in general. Scarf skin is not a term that is used in reference to skin layers.
