Solution

The correct option is B Endometrium
The endometrium is the inner epithelial layer, along with its mucous membrane, of the mammalian uterus. It has a basal layer and a functional layer which thickens and then shed during menstruation in humans, as well as in some other mammals including apes, some species of bat, and the elephant whereas in most other mammals the endometrium is reabsorbed in the oestrous cycle. During pregnancy, it forms placenta that provides nutrients to the foetus.
So the correct option is 'Endometrium'.
