blastocyst
C
multipotent
D
totipotent
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pluripotent cells can give rise to all of the cell types that make up the body; embryonic stem cells are considered pluripotent. Multipotent cells can develop into more than one cell type, but are more limited than pluripotent cells; adult stem cells and cord blood stem cells are considered multipotent.

Detailed explanation-2: -A multipotent stem cell has the potential to differentiate into different types of cells within a given cell lineage or small number of lineages, such as a red blood cell or white blood cell. Finally, multipotent cells can become further specialized oligopotent cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Multipotent stem cells have the ability to differentiate into all cell types within one particular lineage.
