Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - e) support for the brain and spinal cord protection from external shock.

Explanation:

The meninges are 3 layer tissue termed as dura mater, arachnoid mater and pia mater that make a protective layer. It connects the brain and spinal cord to the spinal canal and skull.

The main function of this layer is to support and protect from mechanical injury by the external shock. It creates a barricade that safeguards the organs of the CNS.

Thus, the correct answer is - e)  support for the brain and spinal cord protection from external shock.
