Solution

The correct option is A Ectoderm
During the embryonic stages, there are three germ layers which give rise to different organs of the body. These layers are:
Outer ectoderm
Middle mesoderm
Inner endoderm
Conjunctiva is a thin transparent membrane lining the eyelids. It develops from ectoderm i.e. the outer germ layer.
So, the correct answer is 'Ectoderm'.
