Which of the Following is Accomplished During the Eighth Month

Question

Which of the following is accomplished during the eighth month of fetal development?
A) Baby fattens up
B) Baby's bone marrow begins to function
C) Amniotic fluid begins to accumulate in the amniotic sac
D) Mom starts to lactate

Accepted Answer

During the eighth month of fetal development, the baby begins to fatten up as they accumulate fat under their skin, which will help regulate their body temperature after birth. Bone marrow functioning and amniotic fluid accumulation typically occur earlier in development, and lactation is related to the mother's pregnancy and postpartum hormone levels.
