Answer 1

The correct option is A 1 and 2

Abortion in India has been legal under various circumstances for the last 50 years with the introduction of Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act in 1971.
Infertility is generally defined as the failure to achieve a successful pregnancy after at least one year of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse.
Blocking the fallopian tubes during surgical procedure prevents sperm from reaching and fertilizing an egg.
MTP is considered safe upto the first trimester.

So, the correct answer is-option a.
