Solution

The correct option is C Between pia mater and arachnoid mater
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless body fluid found in the brain and spine. It is located in the subarachnoid space between the arachnoid mater and the pia mater. It acts as a cushion for the brain's cortex by providing mechanical and immunological protection to the brain inside the skull. Hence option B is correct.
