Solution
The correct option is C AI Inability of the male to inseminate the female or very low sperm count in the ejaculates results in infertility in men.
This can be corrected by using artificial insemination (AI) technique. It involves injection of semen directly into the vagina or uterus. In this, the semen is collected either from the husband or a healthy donor. It is then artificially introduced either into the vagina or into the uterus of the female which aids in conception.
Amniocentesis is a prenatal test to detect any chromosomal abnormality in the foetus. It also helps in the sex determination.
MTP is medical termination of pregnancy. It is also called induced abortion.
