Solution

The correct option is A

8 weeks


The embryonic period finishes at the end of 8 weeks, at which the growing embryo's head is out of proportion with the body. The brain and the blood vessels in the head can be seen through the thin skin. The bones in the arms and legs start to harden and elbows and knees become apparent. Fingers and toes can also be seen at this stage. After this, it enters the "foetal period".
