Solution

The correct option is B Pia mater
The meninges are three layers of protective tissue called as the dura mater, arachnoid mater and pia mater that surround the neuraxis. The outside layer is called as the dura mater and is the most resilient of the three. The centre layer is the arachnoid membrane and the thin innermost layer is the pia mater.
