Solution

The correct option is

B

Grey matter

The H-shaped area of the spinal cord is called grey matter. The neurons and their dendrites of the spinal cord are contained within this H-shaped region. Surrounding the grey matter area is a region called white matter. The white matter section of the spinal cord contains axons that are covered with an insulating substance called myelin. There is nothing called black matter and blue matter.
