The human brain, being a phenomenally complex organ responsible for a multitude of vital tasks, sits securely inside a hard, bony box generally called the cranium or skull. To provide further safeguarding, inside this bony structure, the brain is safely enclosed in a fluid-filled balloon. This fluid is known as the cerebrospinal fluid, which serves as a highly effective shock absorber agai

Go with C — Subarachnoid space. Within Structure and Function of Nervous System, that statement lines up with the standard definition and the usual exam wording you’ll see. In plain terms, Subarachnoid space is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Structure and Function of Nervous System. Holding that picture in mind makes Subarachnoid space feel natural rather than something you only memorise. Link the term to a real body example (organ, tissue, or ion flow) so the idea stays concrete under exam pressure. A short mental diagram helps — start from s
