Solution

The correct option is D Mesoderm
Mesothelium or peritoneum originates from the mesoderm cell layer. Mesoderm lines various body cavities such as the abdominal cavity (the peritoneum), thoracic cavity (the pleura) and cavity of the heart. Mesoderm constitutes the middle germ layer that forms muscle, the skeletal system and the circulatory system. So, the correct answer is 'Mesoderm'.
