Solution

The correct option is C To provide nutrition for developing embryo
The placenta is an organ that develops in the uterus during pregnancy. This structure provides oxygen and nutrients to growing baby and removes waste products from baby's blood. The placenta attaches to the wall of uterus and umbilical cord is formed from it. Placenta protects the foetus and supplies the blood to the growing embryo.
