Solution

The correct option is B Grey matter
The grey matter, in the center of the spinal cord, is shaped like a butterfly and consists of cell bodies of interneurons and motor neurons, as well as neuroglia cells and unmyelinated axons. Projections of the grey matter (wings) are called as horns. Together, the grey horns and the grey commissure form the "grey H."
