Solution

The correct option is B Duramater
There are 3 layers of tissue called meninges that help protect the brain. The outer covering of tissue (called the dura mater) closely lines the inside of the skull. The second layer is the arachnoid mater and the third layer, the pia mater, touches the surface of the brain.
So, option B is the correct option.
