Solution

The correct option is D Laboratory under simulated conditions
IVF (in vitro fertilisation) refers to the fusion of an egg and a sperm outside the woman's body. In IVF technique, fusion of ovum and sperm takes place in the laboratory under simulated conditions. The fertilized ovum or egg is then allowed to grow for some time in a special culture medium, before being implanted in the womb of the woman who is to undergo the pregnancy.
