The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the type of eggs found in placental mammals, specifically human eggs. 2. **Definition of Yolk**: Yolk is a mixture of proteins, phospholipids, and fats that serves as nourishment for the developing embryo. 3. **Types of Eggs Based on Yolk Amount**: - **Alacetal**: Eggs with no yolk or minimal yolk. - **Mesolacetal**: Eggs with a moderate amount of yolk. - **Macrolacetal**: Eggs with a high amount of yolk. 4. **Types of Eggs Based on Yolk Distribution**: - **Homolacetal**: Yolk is uniformly distributed throughout the egg. - **Telolacetal**: Yolk is concentrated at one end of the egg. - **Centrolacetal**: Yolk is located at the center of the egg. 5. **Analyzing Human Eggs**: Human eggs, being part of placental mammals, receive nourishment from maternal tissues via the placenta. Therefore, they do not require a significant amount of yolk. 6. **Conclusion**: Since human eggs have minimal to no yolk, they are classified as **alacetal** eggs. 7. **Final Answer**: The correct answer is **alacetal**.
