D. Pluripotent cells can't give rise to placental cells.

Answer 1

D. Pluripotent cells can't give rise to placental cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Stem cells are the cells which have the ability to divide and differentiate into many types of cell and at the same time get self renewed.
• Pluripotent stem cells are a category of stem cells that have the ability to form all the cells except the placental cells and the embryo.
