Solution

The correct option is C RU 486 (mifepristone)
  • Abortion is a phenomenon of the end of pregnancy. It can be either spontaneous or induced. The induced abortion is called a medical termination of pregnancy (MTP).
  • MTP is a medical way of ending an unwanted pregnancy. In this, a qualified gynecologist removes the embryo or fetus from the womb. Vacuum or suction aspiration can be done for MTP.
  • In this, aspiration is done in order to remove uterine contents through the cervix. Abortion can also be induced using mifepristone or RU-486. Since it is given orally, it is a non-surgical way of MTP.

Thus, the correct answer is 'RU 486 (mifepristone).'
