Solution
The correct option is A Umbilical chord The Umbilical cord is a connection between the developing embryo or fetus and the placenta. It supplies the foetus with oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood from the placenta. The uterus or womb is the female reproductive sex organ where the foetus develops. Fallopian tubes are long narrow tubes connecting the ovaries to the uterus. Thus, the correct answer is option (A), 'Umbilical cord'.
