Solution

The correct option is B Dura mater, arachnoid mater, pia mater
The dura mater is the most superior of the meningeal layers. This tissue separates the cranial cavity into compartments and protects the brain from displacement. The arachnoid mater is the middle layer of the meninges. They transfer cerebrospinal fluid from the ventricles back into the bloodstream. The pia mater is the innermost layer of the meninges. Unlike the other layers, this tissue adheres closely to the brain, running down into the sulci and fissures of the cortex. It fuses with the ependyma, the membranous lining of the ventricles to form structures, called as the choroid plexus, which produce cerebrospinal fluid.
