The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion Aminocentesis is a transabdominal aspiration of
fluid from the amniotic sac of the foetus.It
is a prenatal diagnostic technique to determine the genetic disorders, if
any, and sex of the foetus.
