Pericardium.
Endocardium.
Myocardium.
Epicardium.
The endocardium is the thin inner lining of the heart chambers and also forms the surface of the heart valves.
Some possible explanations for the other choices are:
Choice A is wrong because the pericardium is the sac that surrounds the heart and consists of two layers: the fibrous pericardium and the serous pericardium.
Choice C is wrong because the myocardium is the thick middle layer of muscle that allows the heart chambers to contract and relax to pump blood to the body.
Choice D is wrong because epicardium is another name for the visceral layer of the serous pericardium that is fused to the heart and is part of the heart wall.
