  • The meninges are three layers of protective tissue called the dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater that surround the neuraxis. 
  • The meninges of the brain and spinal cord are continuous, being linked through the magnum foramen. 
  • In order from the outermost to innermost layer, the meninges are dura mater, arachnoid mater, subarachnoid space, and pia mater. Hence, The innermost layer of meninges is Pia mater.
So, the correct answer is 'Piamater'.
