Answer: D. a fertilized egg cell

Totipotent stem cells are cells which are formed when a sperm fertilizes a egg resulting in a zygote. A zygote being a totipotent stem cell divides many times to develop specialized cells in a new human being. Therefore, a fertilized egg cell has greatest number of totipotent stem cells.
