Solution

The correct option is C Arachnoid matter
The arachnoid mater is the middle of three layers that make up the meninges, or membranes, that surround the spinal cord and brain. The dura mater is the outermost layer of the meninges. The innermost layer that contours closely to the many folds and crevices of the brain is called the pia mater. The space between the membrane is filled with cerebrospinal fluid.
Therefore the correct answer is option C.
