Basically, even without knowing all the exact days of development, most answers can be eliminated based on having the events in the incorrect order or having an incorrect aspect about development (i.e. the syncytiotrophoblast forms concurrent with the cytotrophobast, 3 germ layers are present after gastrulation, the embryo is never truly resistant to teratogens after implantation, the sclerotome forms from somites so somites have to come first).
