Caenorhabditis Elegans
A free-living, transparent nematode (roundworm), widely used as a model organism in genetic and developmental biology.
Fate Map
Diagram used by developmental geneticists that tracks the differentiation of a cell in an embryo.
Cytoplasmic Segregation

Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
The trace of development from a generalized zygote to specialized cells of an adult organism is known as a fate map. Therefore, the best choice for this scenario is E) fate map.
