Answer 1

The correct option is D A - (iii), B - (iv), C - (ii), D - (i), E - (v)

Parturition is the delivery or childbirth of baby from the uterus. Gestation is the period of development during the carrying of an embryo or fetus inside viviparous animals and the duration between pregnancy and birth. Ovulation is the process of release of the ovum from the Graafian follicle as it ruptures. Implantation is the process of attachment of the zygote to the endometrial lining of the uterus. Conception refers to the post-fertilization fusion of the egg and sperm into the zygote.

So, the correct option is 'A - (iii), B - (iv), C - (ii), D - (i), E - (v)'.
