This is an extension of the peritoneum that forms a double fold of tissue between the stomach and liver.
A
Mesentary
B
Vermiform appendix
C
Greater Omentum
D
Lesser Omentum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The greater omentum is the larger of the two peritoneal folds. It consists of a double sheet of peritoneum, folded on itself so that it has four layers. The two layers of the greater omentum descend from the greater curvature of the stomach and the beginning of the duodenum.

Detailed explanation-2: -Omenta are abdominal structures formed from peritoneum and structurally similar to mesentery. The visceral peritoneum covering the stomach extends on both sides into large, double-layered sheets that are filled with prominent patches of fat, giving it a lace-like appearance.

Detailed explanation-3: -Omenta are the fused peritoneal folds that connect the stomach and duodenum with other abdominal organs. There are two omenta, the greater omentum and the lesser omentum. The greater omentum attaches the stomach to the transverse colon. The lesser omentum attaches the stomach and the duodenum to the liver.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mesenteries are double layers of peritoneum in the abdominal cavity and are continuations of the visceral and parietal peritoneum with the serous membranes adhered back to back so that the outer mesothelium secretes serous fluid into the peritoneal cavity.
