• B. grey matter masses Within the spinal cord
• C. bundles of axons outside the central nervous system

Answer 1

The correct option is D connective tissue coverings around the brain and cord

The meninges are three layers of protective tissue called the dura mater, arachnoid mater and pia mater that surround the neuraxis. The meninges of the brain and spinal cord are continuous, being linked through the magnum foramen.

So, the correct option is 'connective tissue covering around the brain and cord'.
