Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
C

The placenta is formed by the interdigitation of the chorionic villi and uterine tissue. It forms a structural and functional unit between the developing embryo (fetus) and maternal body for the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the embryo and also the removal of carbon dioxide and excretory/waste materials produced by the embryo. If the placenta fails to function during gestation, the embryo will not be able to survive.
