The correct answer is: Thoracic lining and lung surface
The two lungs are covered by a double-layered pleura, with pleural fluid between them. It reduces friction on the lung surface. The outer pleural membrane is in close contact with the thoracic lining whereas the inner pleural membrane is in contact with the lung surface.
