Yes, the correct answer is D. Placenta.
To arrive at this answer, you can use your knowledge of human reproductive anatomy and the role of each organ during pregnancy. Here's a brief explanation of each option:
A. : The is the birth canal through which the baby passes during delivery. It does not develop as a source of nourishment or gas exchange for the fetus.
B. Uterus: Also known as the womb, the uterus is the organ in which the fetus develops. While the uterus provides a protective environment for the fetus, it is not the source of nourishment or gas exchange for the developing baby.
C. Fallopian tubes: The fallopian tubes are the structures that transport the egg from the ovary to the uterus. They do not provide nourishment or gas exchange for the fetus.
D. Placenta: The placenta is an organ that develops during pregnancy and acts as a connection between the mother and the fetus. It provides nutrients, oxygen, and removes waste products from the fetus, serving as the source of nourishment and gas exchange for the developing baby.
Therefore, the placenta is the correct answer in this case.
