Solution

The correct option is C To produce cerebrospinal fluid
The choroid plexus is a secretory tissue found in each of the brain ventricles, the main function of which is to produce cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The choroid plexus has a lining of specialized epithelial tissue known as ependyma. Ependymal cells are glial cells with a ciliated simple columnar form that line the ventricles and central canal of the spinal cord. Ependymal cells play an important role in the production and regulation of CSF.
So, the correct option is C.
