Solution

The correct option is C Chorion
Human placenta is composed of both maternal tissue and tissue derived from the embryo. However, it is largely formed by chorion. Chorion is the embryonic-derived portion of the placenta. It contains blood vessels formed by allantois and trophoblasts which are organized into chorionic villi.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Chorion.'
