As we aleady discussed in Extraembryonic Layers -

  • These membranes are formed outside the embryo from the trophoblast and embryonic layers only in amniotes (reptiles, birds and mammals) and perform specific functions.
  • There are four extraembryonic membranes:
    • Amnion
    • Yolk sac
    • Allantois
    • Chorion

Amnion is an extra embryonic layer of an embryo which helps in protection from any kind of mechanical shock  to the baby during pregnancy.It also prevents dessication of the developing foetus
Hence, the correct option is (b).
