Solution
The correct option is
B
Dura mater
The membrane which covers the brain and the spinal cord is called as the meninges.
There are three layers of the meninges. The outermost is the Dura mater, middle one is the arachnoid mater and the innermost is the pia mater.
Dura mater is the tough membrane which is present in the outermost region. The three meninges provide protection to the brain from shock and injury.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
