A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The ectoderm is the outer layer of the embryo, which gives rise to the external ectoderm (epidermis, hair, nails) and the neuroectoderm (neural crest and neural tube-brain and spinal cord), along with the lens of the eyes and the inner ear.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ectoderm is one of the three primary germ layers formed in early embryonic development. It is the outermost layer, and is superficial to the mesoderm (the middle layer) and endoderm (the innermost layer). It emerges and originates from the outer layer of germ cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ectoderm forms the central and peripheral nervous systems and epidermis, and contributes to the adipose and heart as well as to numerous other organs. The ectoderm forms many of the sensory organs (eye, ear, nose), and is also the source of. Read More. Ectoderm.
