Solution

The correct option is C meninges
The brain is the center for controlling all the actions of the body. It is protected by the hard bony box-like structure called cranium. It is covered by three layers of meninges. They cover the spinal cord as well. The innermost membrane is the piamater, next is arachnoid membrane and the outermost membrane is duramater.
