Which layer of skin contains melanin-producing cells?

  1. Epidermis

  2. Dermis

  3. Hypodermis

  4. Stratum Corneum

The correct answer is: Epidermis

The epidermis is the outermost layer of skin and is responsible for producing melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. The dermis and hypodermis also contain melanin-producing cells, but they are not the primary layers responsible for this function. The stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the epidermis, is responsible for protecting the skin and does not contain melanin-producing cells. Therefore, the best answer is A.
