Solution

The correct option is C Pericardium
Pericardium is the fibrous sac that surrounds the heart. It can be divided into three layers, the fibrous pericardium, the parietal pericardium, and the visceral pericardium.

Peritoneum is a thin membrane that lines the abdominal and pelvic cavities and covers most abdominal viscera.
Pleura is the covering of lungs.
Precordium is the area overlying heart on surface.
