Solution

The correct option is D Albumen
There are three types of egg membranes. The primary or vitelline membrane is produced by the egg itself during the growth period and it consists of a thin transparent layer. The secondary membrane also called, chorion is secreted by auxiliary cells of the ovary. The tertiary membrane, albumen are secreted by cells of the female's genital tract, when ovum moves through the oviduct.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
