The correct option is A Fourth ventricle

The aqueduct of Sylvius leads to the fourth ventricle, which is enclosed in the pons and medulla oblongata.

The medulla has two parts-

2. Closed part or inferior part, where the fourth ventricle has narrowed at the obex in the caudal medulla and surrounds part of the central canal.
