AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Meninges**: The question asks about the innermost meninx covering the brain. Meninges are the protective membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. There are three layers of meninges. 2. **Identifying the Layers**: The three layers of meninges are: - **Dura Mater**: This is the outermost layer. It is tough and made of white fibrous connective tissue. - **Arachnoid Mater**: This is the middle layer. It resembles a cobweb and has a space beneath it called the subarachnoid space. - **Pia Mater**: This is the innermost layer. It is a thin and delicate membrane that is tightly bound to the surface of the brain and spinal cord. 3. **Determining the Correct Answer**: Since the question specifically asks for the innermost meninx, we identify that the Pia Mater is the layer that directly covers the brain and spinal cord. 4. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the innermost meninx covering the brain is the **Pia Mater**.
