Solution

The correct option is B uterus
  • Zygote is the fertilised egg cell formed as a result of fusion of the sperm and egg.
  • It divides to give rise to a clump of cells called blastocyst which further develops into an embryo.
  • The embryo then gets embedded in the wall of the uterus by implantation to further develop into a foetus.
