Cis your correct answer.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C.

Explanation:

The stem cells are the unspecialized cells which can form any specialized organs of the body as they are the pluripotent cells.

The stem cells in the embryos have the ability to form all the organs of the body but their function gets changed in adults. In human adults, the stem cells are mostly present in the bone marrow which form new cell only for the replacement of few cells but not for the formation of new organs.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
