Answer:

The c. white matter is the richest in lipid content of the structures mentioned in the previous list.

Step-by-step explanation:

our brain has long and organized neurons and connections that constitute white matter and gray matter.

Gray matter is composed of the bodies of neurons and their axons (their nerve endings).Gray matter differs from white because gray matter does not have myelin.

on the other hand, white matter is a substance very rich in lipids, which gives it its white color.This substance is composed of higher myelinated fibers

The dura and arachnoid are part of the cerebral meninges, are those structures responsible for protecting the central nervous system, especially the brain from external agents in order to have proper functioning. These are formed by a very vascular connective tissue.
