A Correct answer
Explanation

The placenta is the specialized organ that transfers oxygen, nutrients, and antibodies from the mother's blood to the fetus while removing waste products. Option A is correct. Blood capillaries are tiny vessels, the uterus is the muscular organ that houses the fetus, and the oviduct (fallopian tube) is where fertilization occurs, not nutrient transfer.
