Solution

The correct option is A True
The placenta is a temporary association between the foetal and maternal tissues. It acts as a barrier between the foetus and mother and is contributed by both foetal and maternal tissue. Exchange of gases takes place through the placenta. The foetus obtains nutrients and oxygen from the mother's blood as the mother's blood can flow into the foetus through the placenta.
Hence, the statement given in the question is correct.
So, the correct answer is 'True'.
