Explanation
Answer: A - The uterus is the organ in which a baby grows. The placenta is created by the baby, and implants into the uterine wall. Growing out from the placenta is the amniotic sac, which serves to protect the baby during pregnancy. The baby is connected to the placenta via the umbilical cord. The amniotic sac is filled with amniotic fluid, which provides cushioning and temperature stability for the fetus. The cervix is the opening of the uterus leading to the birth canal or vagina. Fundus is the term given to the top of the growing uterus.
