Solution

The correct option is E Both A and C
In the uterus, the fetus is protected from internal and external pressures by the strong muscles of the uterus because it is well insulated and designed as the perfect baby carrier. It is pear-shaped and lies between the rectum and the bladder. Uterus wall forms placenta that surrounds the embryo and filled with amniotic fluid. This fluid helps to protect the embryo from injury. It helps in keeping and regulating the correct fetal body temperature. It provides the space to the fetus to float in the fluid to move around better within the uterus which is necessary for bone and muscle development.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A and C.
