In the third stage of the birthing process, the placenta is delivered, and it does not remain intact. So, the answer is D. Placenta delivery takes about 5 to 30 minutes, and is the shortest stage. Along with the placenta, the empty bags of water attached to the placental membrane, are also delivered
