The correct option is B lactation
Parturition is the process of delivering baby from uterus to outside. After the child birth(parturition), mammary glands in females secretes milk to feed the young one. This is known as lactation. Involution is a physiological process through which the uterus shrinks to its pre-gestational size after the delivery of baby.
