Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The amniotic sac encloses the developing fetus in amniotic fluid, which helps maintain a stable temperature and provides a cushion against external pressures and impacts, but it does not directly exchange nutrients and wastes, filter germs and drugs, or provide oxygenated blood to the fetus. These functions are primarily performed by the placenta and the mother's body.
