Solution

The correct option is A placental cells
Embryonic stem cells are pluriopotent in nature. They have the ability to give rise to cell of any part of the body for e.g., nerve, muscle, blood, etc. except for placenta and embryo. Only the totipotent cells like zygote have the ability to form all the cell types of the body including the extraembryonic tissues.
