• A. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
• B. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
• C. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect

Gamete Intrafallopian transfer is a technique used for the females that cannot produce an ovum but can provide a suitable environment for the foetus to grow.

In such conditions, the ovum from the donor female is transplanted into the fallopian tube of the females.

Zygote intrafallopian transfer is a technique that is done after the fusion of male and female gamete in vitro.

Here, the zygote up to 8 blastomeres stage is transplanted into the fallopian tube.

So, the correct option is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion'
