Answer:

The correct answer is between the arachnoid and the pia. Thus option 'a' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Subarachnoid hemorrhage is the bleeding in the brain more precisely in the subarachnoid space-the space between the arachnoid and the pia matter surrounding the brain.

The layers that surround the brain termed as meninges of the brain of the brain include:

1) Dura matter the outermost layer close to the skull.

2)Arachnoid matter.

3) Pia matter, the innermost layer that is in contact with the brain.

A subarachnoid hemorrhage can occur due to many causes such as an accident , ruptured aneurysm, e.t.c. It is a life threatening condition and is accompanied with stroke.
