Answer to Question 1

C
During the fetal period, the body systems grow in size and mature in function to allow independent existence after birth.

Answer to Question 2

D
The abdominal contents grow more rapidly than the abdominal cavity, so part of their development takes place in the umbilical cord. By 10 weeks, the abdomen is large enough to contain them.
