Solution
The correct option is C Chorion The chorion is the outermost membrane and lines the inside of the eggshell, which is permeable to gases and participates in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the embryo and the outside air. It forms placenta and produces HCG hormone which helps to maintain corpus luteum. Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
