D
Placenta
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The amnion, a thin ectodermal membrane lined with mesoderm, grows to enclose the embryo like a balloon. It is filled with a clear fluid, which is generated from many sources, such as the fetal skin, the amnion itself, the fetal kidneys, and possibly the fetal vessels.

Detailed explanation-2: -Amniotic sac. A thin-walled sac that surrounds the fetus during pregnancy. The sac is filled with liquid made by the fetus (amniotic fluid) and the membrane that covers the fetal side of the placenta (amnion). This protects the fetus from injury.

Detailed explanation-3: -The amniotic cavity is surrounded by an extraembryonic membrane, called the amnion. As the implantation of the blastocyst progresses, a small space appears in the embryoblast, which is the primordium of the amniotic cavity.

Detailed explanation-4: -The yolk sac is the extraembryonic membrane that surrounds the egg yolk. The yolk sac has a well-developed vascular system that transports nutrients from the egg yolk to the developing embryo. And finally, the amnion is the extraembryonic membrane that surrounds the developing embryo.
