Damage to the choroid plexus would interfere with
A
myelin production
B
formation of cerebrospinal fluid
C
glycogen storage
D
impulse conduction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -One of the primary functions is to produce cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) via the ependymal cells that line the ventricles of the brain. Secondly, the choroid plexus serves as a barrier in the brain separating the blood from the CSF, known as the blood-CSF barrier.

Detailed explanation-2: -The choroid plexus (ChP) is a secretory tissue responsible for producing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the vertebrate brain. CSF flows from the lateral to the third ventricle via the interventricular foramina (also known as the foramen of Monro), and then through the cerebral aqueduct to the fourth ventricle (Fig. 1).

Detailed explanation-3: -People with choroid plexus tumors may have increased pressure within the skull due to the production of too much CSF or blockage of its normal flow. This problem is known as hydrocephalus. Signs and symptoms of hydrocephalus may include: Nausea.

Detailed explanation-4: -CSF is secreted by the CPs located within the ventricles of the brain, with the two lateral ventricles being the primary producers. CSF flows throughout the ventricular system unidirectionally in a rostral to caudal manner.
