  • A. Zona pellucida, corona radiata, plasma membrane
  • B. Corona radiata, zona pellucida, plasma membrane
  • C. Plasma membrane, zona pellucida, corona radiata
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

The correct sequence of layers in the mammalian egg from the outside to the inside is:b) Corona Radiata, Zona Pellucida, Plasma MembraneCorona Radiata: The outermost layer of granulosa cells that surrounds the egg.Zona Pellucida: The glycoprotein-rich matrix that surrounds the egg cell.Plasma Membrane: The cell membrane that encloses the entire egg cell.This sequence accurately represents the layers of a mammalian egg.
