Solution

The correct option is D Yolk sac
The yolk sac is the extraembryonic membrane that surrounds the egg yolk. It has a well-developed vascular system, that transports nutrients from the egg yolk to the developing embryo. It is the principal site of RBC production until 6-8 weeks of embryonic development. During the second trimester, the liver is the primary source of RBCs.
So, the correct answer is option D.
