Solution
The correct option is A Grey matter
Grey matter consists of cell bodies, dendrites and axon terminals of neurons and thus has all synapses.
It serves to process sensory information. Cerebral cortex is a thin highly convoluted layer of grey matter that covers cerebral hemispheres.
Cerebral cortex is responsible for sensation, voluntary actions, and all conscious thought processes and thus consists of grey matter.
White matter consists of myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibers that carry impulses to and from the brain. It is mainly present in the sensory and motor areas of the brain.
Dura mater is the outer most protective layer of the brain and is made up of tough, white fibrous connective tissue.
Arachnoid mater is the middle protective layer of brain and consists of weblike connective tissue with thin strands.
