D Correct answer
Explanation

The germ (blastodisc) is a small white spot on the yolk where the embryo develops - it's the most important part biologically as it becomes the chick. The yolk provides nutrients, the white (albumen) provides protein and protection, and the shell membrane is part of the protective layer.
