Solution

The correct option is B 2 months
The start of pregnancy is actually the first day of the female's last menstrual period. During 2nd-month baby's facial features continue to develop. Each ear begins as a little fold of skin at the side of the head. Tiny buds that eventually grow into arms and legs are forming. Fingers, toes and eyes are also forming.
After the 8th week, the baby is called a fetus instead of an embryo.
So the correct option is '2 months'.
