Answer 1

The correct option is D A-perimetrium, B-myometrium, C-endometrium

The wall of the uterus consists of three layers of tissue:

Myometrium is the middle layer and it is a thick layer of smooth muscles.

The innermost layer is endometrium. The endometrium is a highly vascularized and glandular layer.
