Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The correct arrangement from outermost to innermost is vertebrae (the bones making up the spine), meninges (the protective coverings of the brain and spinal cord), spinal cord (the main pathway for information connecting the brain and peripheral nervous system), and finally the central canal (the fluid-filled space running longitudinally through the length of the entire spinal cord).
