The correct option is D A- 3, B- 4, C- 2, D- 1, E- 5

A. Parturition is the process of expelling the fully grown fetus outside the mother's body through the uterus at the end of gestation.

B. Gestation is defined as the time during which a fetus develops in the mother's uterus. This is the time from the fertilization of the egg i.e. pregnancy to parturition.

C. Ovulation is the process in which egg is released from the mature Graafian follicle in the ovary.

D. Implantation is the process in which the zygote at the blastocyst stage is implanted into the uterine wall also called endometrium.

E. Conception is the fusion of the sperm with the egg to form the zygote. This process is also called fertilization.
