Solution
The correct option is A Gestation period The unborn baby spends around 37 weeks inside the uterus before delivery. But the average length of gestation or pregnancy is calculated as 40 weeks because it is counted from the women's last day of periods. So, the average length of human gestation is 40 weeks or 280 days. Gestation is the time period from conception to birth and pregnancy refers to the series of changes that happen to a women's body as a result of fetus development. So the correct answer is 'Gestation period'.
