The stratum corneum is the most superficial layer of the epidermis and consists of about 3-5 layers of interlocking keratinized cells called corneocytes. These cells are dead and anucleate, which means they have no nucleus. Therefore, options A, C, D, and E are applicable to the stratum corneum. Option B is incorrect because the stratum corneum consists of more than 3-5 cell layers.
