Saeed SiddiQui · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The fetal period is the longest of the three prenatal periods, lasting from 9 weeks after fertilization until birth. During this period, the fetus grows and develops functional body systems, such as the respiratory system and nervous system. The embryonic period is the second prenatal period, lasting from fertilization to 8 weeks, during which the major organs and structures of the body form. The germinal period is the first prenatal period, from conception to implantation in the uterine wall. The proximodistal principle refers to the pattern of development where growth and development begins at the center of the body and then moves towards the extremities.
