Below the skin.

Below the skin.

• A. SUBCUTANEOUS
• B. AQUEOUS
• C. ANTINEOPLASTIC
• D. LESION

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is describing location relative to the skin. Subcutaneous means beneath the skin, pointing to the layer between the dermis and underlying tissues (the hypodermis) that often contains fat and connective tissue. That direct meaning makes it the best fit for “Below the skin.” The other terms don’t describe location: aqueous refers to a watery solution, antineoplastic relates to drugs that combat tumors, and a lesion is any abnormal area of tissue—none specify position under the skin.
