Solution

The correct option is C Placenta
A placenta is formed from interdigitation of the trophoblast layer of the embryo and the endometrial lining during implantation. It facilitates the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the developing foetus and is also responsible for removal of carbon dioxide and excretory waste products of the foetus.
Yolk sac along with the allantois layer forms the umbilical cord, the connection between the embryo and the placenta.
Phagocytosis is the ingestion of bacteria and other foreign agents by the defence system of the body. So the correct answer is A.
