Solution

The correct option is A Neurulation
The ectoderm, in addition to giving rise to the skin, also gives rise to the central nervous system. The process of neurulation forms the neural tube, a structure that runs along the anterior-posterior axis on the dorsal side of the embryo. This tube will eventually give rise to the brain, anteriorly, and the spinal cord, posteriorly.
Neurogenesis is growth and development of nervous tissue.
Notogenesis is the development of notochord.
Thus, the correct option is (A).
