What are the two layers of the tunica vaginalis?

The testis is enclosed by a serous sac called the tunica vaginalis, which has two layers: the visceral layer that adheres directly to the testis and epididymis, and the parietal layer that lines the inner surface of the scrotal cavity. Between these layers is a potential space containing a small amount of serous fluid, allowing smooth movement of the testis within the scrotum. The other options refer to different structures or wrong classifications (such as layers of the testis itself or generic tissue types), whereas the actual two layers are visceral and parietal.
