Answer:
d. Pluripotency markers
Step-by-step explanation:
Pluripotency can be defined as the capacity of individual cells to differentiate into any cell type. Pluripotent transcription factors are pluripotent proteins that promote the differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) into stem/progenitor cells by inducing the expression of target genes, which are also capable of maintaining their pluripotent state. For example, SOX2, OCT4 and NANOG are pluripotent transcription factors highly expressed in ESCs in order to maintain the pluripotent state of these cells.
