Answer 1

The correct option is D I, II and IV

Woman plays a key role in the continuity of the family and human species. After fertilization, women carry the foetus and finally they give birth. However, some women cannot give birth but those women can have surrogate mother who substitutes or takes the place of the birth mother to nurse to the embryo. In case of infertility, in vitro fertilization can also be used to produce children without any abnormalities.

Birth control pills contain progestogen–estrogen combinations. They are generally used by female in the form of tablets and hence are popularly called the pills.

Foetal sex determination test should be banned in order to avoid abortion of foetus because of sex.
