Solution
The correct option is C Artificial insemination Intrauterine transfer - Both occytes and sperms are collected and placed in the uterus of a female to facilitate fertilisation. Gamete intracytoplasmic fallopian transfer involves collection of eggs are collected and placed in the fallopian tube of the female along with sperms. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is a technique for in vitro fertilisation, where the sperm nucleus is injected directly into the cytoplasm of the ovum. In case of a couple where the male is having a very low sperm count, fertilisation could be carried out in vivo by artificial insemination. In this, the semen collected either from the husband or a healthy donor is artificially introduced either into the vagina or into the uterus of the female.
