Answer»

Correct option is (c) Supply of carbon dioxide to the FETUS

To explain I WOULD say: Placenta connects the maternal system to the fetal system. It provides nutrients for the fetus. It also removes the excretory products that would be harmful to it. It also provides a GASEOUS exchange by providing oxygen and removing carbon dioxide.
