Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The fetus is the developing organism from 9 weeks after conception to birth. It is the stage of prenatal development after the embryonic stage (from about 2 weeks after fertilization through the second month). The fertilized egg (or zygote) is the very first stage of prenatal development. So options A and B are incorrect.
