A
The umbilical cord contains two arteries and one vein to transport blood between the fetus and the placenta.
This option is abnormal and may indicate an anomaly.
Any option other than two arteries and one vein is considered abnormal and requires further assessment.
Two arteries instead of one is considered normal; this infant would require further assessment for other anomalies.
