The correct option is B Stem cells isolated from blastula
Embryonic stem cells are those which are isolated from the early embryo. The zygote divides and is developed into blastula. When cells are isolated from int inner mass of undifferentiated cells, such cells are known as embryonic stem cells. Stem cells, isolated from other organs like liver, muscles, umbilical cord, tooth etc are known as adult stem cells.
