Concept:

  • In animals, during the embryonic stage cells are arranged in three layers.
  • These germ layers are ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm.
  • The ectoderm is the outermost germinal layer that leads to the formation of the epidermis of the skin, the epithelial lining of the mouth and rectum, and the nervous system. 
  • The endoderm is the innermost layer.
  • It leads to the formation of the epithelial lining of the digestive tract, respiratory tract, and lining of the follicles of the thyroid gland and the urinary bladder. 
  • The mesoderm is the middle layer present between the ectoderm and endoderm.
  • It leads to the formation of the muscular system, skeleton, circulatory system, bones, and cartilage.

Explanation:

  • The lungs are the primary respiratory organ and are covered by the two-layered pleural membrane.
  • It is developed from the innermost layer endoderm.

Hence, the correct option is Option (3) Endoderm.
