Solution

The correct option is B Discoidal
The human placenta is both metadiscoidal and monodiscoidal. Discoidal refers to the structure of the placenta and mono meaning there is only one disc. Metadiscoidal refers to the way the developing placenta becomes discoidal- the villi are scattered at first and then restricted to one disc, that means the placenta becomes mono-discoidal.
So, the correct answer is 'Discoidal'.
