The correct option is D Amniotic fluid

Amniocentesis is the medical procedure of testing used for examining the foetus in the prenatal stage to diagnose any chromosomal abnormalities, foetal infections and also for sex determination
Amniotic fluid is a yellowish liquid that surrounds the unborn baby (foetus) during pregnancy, which is present in the amniotic sac. Amnion is the primary layer that surrounds the embryo and it’s filled with amniotic fluid that provides a protective environment to the developing foetus.
Amino acid are biomolecule that serve as the building blocks of proteins.
Amniotes are the group of animals that have well developed extra embryonic membranes like amnion, chorion, etc. Body fluid of amniotes can mean a number of things like saliva, tears, gastric juices. etc.
Amphipathic molecules are those that have both polar and non-polar moieties. For example, phospholipids.
