Solution

The correct option is C Can cross the placenta
IgG antibodies are present in serum. It has two binding sites. They can pass the placenta and provide passive immunity to the foetus. They can also pass the walls of blood vessels and enter in tissue fluid. These can bind to bacteria and viruses and can neutralize the toxins secreted by them.
