Answer: Option A
Solution:
Trophamnion is found in Polyembryony type of reproduction.
Polyembryony is the phenomenon of two or more embryos developing from a single fertilized egg. Due to the embryos resulting from the same egg, the embryos are identical to one another but are genetically diverse from the parents.
