Solution

The correct option is C

Artificial Insemination


The correct option is option C.

Explanation for correct option:

  1. In the Artificial insemination technique, A doctor transfers sperm directly into a woman's cervix, fallopian tubes, or uterus.
  2. It is widely performed when the sperm count is poor or sperm aren't powerful enough to swim through the cervix and up into the fallopian tubes.
  3. If someone has a condition known as "unreceptive cervical mucus," this procedure may be a great choice. The mucus that surrounds the cervix prevents sperm from entering the uterus and fallopian tubes, so one can't get pregnant. Artificial insemination allows the sperm to completely bypass the cervical mucus.

Explanation for Incorrect option:

Option A:

  1. IUI works by injecting a semen sample into the uterus that has been prepared in advance in the laboratory.
  2. sperm is delivered directly into the uterus during intrauterine insemination (IUI).

Option B:

Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) is a three-step method that involves extracting the eggs, fusing them with sperm, and inserting them into the fallopian tubes, where the egg is fertilized.

Option D:

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is an IVF treatment that involves injecting a single sperm cell directly into the cytoplasm of an egg.

Final answer: Artificial Insemination technique is preferred when the male has a low sperm count.
