Answer 1

The correct option is C

Gamete intrafallopian transfer

The correct option is C.

Explanation of correct option:

1. Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) is a technique used to treat infertility.
2. In this technique, both the sperm and ovum (from a donor female) are directly transferred into the fallopian tube of another female.
3. Such females cannot produce ovum but can provide an appropriate environment for fertilization and fetus development.
4. This technique can only be carried out if sperm count is adequate and at least one of the two fallopian tubes is functional.

Final answer: A childless couple can be assisted to have a child through a technique called GIFT. The full form of this technique is Gamete Intra-Fallopian Transfer.
