Tissue stem cells

Either A or B

|
None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Embryonic cells within the first couple of cell divisions after fertilization are the only cells that are totipotent. Pluripotent cells can give rise to all of the cell types that make up the body; embryonic stem cells are considered pluripotent.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are two types of PSCs, embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). ESCs are derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) of preimplantation embryos [4, 5] and can be indefinitely maintained and expanded in the pluripotent state in vitro.
