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).'
