Solution

The correct option is A Haemochorial
Placenta, an organ characteristic of true mammals during pregnancy, joining mother and offspring, providing endocrine secretion and selective exchange of soluble blood borne substances through apposition of uterine and trophoblastic vascularized parts. In humans, haemochorial placenta is found in which all maternal layers are lost, so that foetal tissue is in contact with maternal blood. It is also seen in rodents, and most primates
So, the correct answer is 'Haemochorial'
