Solution

The correct option is C Ectoderm
The neural tissue which includes the brain, spinal cord, nerve cells and neuroglia, is derived from the ectoderm layer of the germ layers.

Mesoderm gives rise to the skeletal muscles, smooth muscles, blood vessels, connective tissues, etc.

Endoderm gives rise to the alimentary canal and the associated organs.
