Solution

The correct option is A True
Placenta acts as a barrier between the mother and foetus and is a temporary association between the foetal and maternal tissues. It acts as an endocrine gland and secretes hormones such as human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), chorionic corticotropin, oestrogens and progesterone.
Hence, the statement given in the question is correct. So, the correct answer is 'True'
