Solution

The correct option is A
Embryonic stem cells

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are stem cells which divide from the undifferentiated inner mass cells of a human embryo. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent which means they can grow (i.e. differentiate) into all derivatives of the three primary germ layers: ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm.
