The stem cells possessing the characteristic of self-renewal and limited differentiation are present in the amniotic fluid.

The cells present in the amniotic fluid are capable of forming a wide array of different cells. However, they are not pleuripotent, but when grown in the right environment they can form brain, liver, fat, blood vessels, bone and muscle cells.

Hence, the answer is 'Option C - amniotic fluid'.

Answer from: anon1899

Amniotic fluid is a source of stem cells that has the characteristics of self-renewal and limited differentiation.

Further Explanation:

The main characteristic of a stem cell is self-renewal and limited differentiation. This characteristic of the stem cell is present in the amniotic fluid also The amniotic fluid is a transparent yellowish liquid that presents around the unborn baby during pregnancy. It is present in the amniotic sac.

The main functions of amniotic fluid are:

To help in moving babies in the womb, this movement helps in proper growth of bone. To help in develops lungs properly. To prevents stress on the umbilical cord. To maintain the temperature around the fetus, defend from loss of heat. To protect the fetus from outside damage by cushioning sudden movements.

The amniotic fluid consists of cells that are able to form a wide range of different cells. However, amniotic fluid can form liver, brain, fat, muscle cell, blood vessels and bone in the correct environment but they are not pluripotent in nature.
