Solution

The correct option is B Embryo

Fertilisation leads to the development of zygote. The zygote divides repeatedly to give rise to a ball of cells. The cells then begin to form groups that develop into different tissues and organs of the body. This developing structure is termed an embryo. The embryo gets embedded in the wall of the uterus for further development. Only from the 11th week of development, the embryo is called foetus.
