Solution

The correct option is C Both A and B
The process of formation of the yolk is known as vitellogenesis. These are generally used to nourish the developing embryo in oviparous animals. They are deposited during oocyte maturation for use after fertilization and are synthesized in the liver or fat bodies as a common precursor termed vitellogenin.
So, the correct answer is option C.
