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.
