Solution

The correct option is C Pleural membrane
Each lung is enclosed by a double-layered serous membrane, called the pleura. The visceral pleura is firmly attached to the surface of the lung. At the hilum, the visceral pleura is continuous with the parietal pleura that lines the wall of the thorax.
So, the option is 'Pleural membrane'.
