Solution

The correct option is A
cerebrospinal fluid

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colourless body fluid found in the brain and spinal cord. In the brain, it is found in the inner layer of the meninges. It provides nutrients and oxygen to the tissues of the brain. Apart from that, regulation of pressure inside the brain and protection of brain from injuries is also assisted by CSF.
