Solution

The correct option is C Placenta
During implantation of the zygote in the uterus, the chorionic villi and the uterine endometrium become interdigitated with each other and form the placenta. The placenta supplies oxygen/nutrients to the developing fetus and also removes carbon dioxide and waste products from the fetus. Placenta also acts as an endocrine tissue and secretes several hormones like Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), human placental lactogen (hPL), estrogen, progesterone etc.
So the correct answer is C.
