Answer

B
They provide the brain and spinal cord with extra cushioning from injury.
C
They are made of one layer.
D
They are made of two layers.

Explanation

The meninges are three protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Together with the cerebrospinal fluid around the brain and spinal cord, they help cushion these organs from injury. So the true statement is that they provide extra cushioning; they are not made of just one or two layers.
