Solution

The correct option is C ICSI
ICSI (Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is a specialised procedure in which a sperm is directly injected into the ovum placed in a nutrient broth.

GIFT (Gamete Intra Fallopian Transfer) is a method to transfer an ovum collected from a donor into the fallopian tube of another female who cannot produce one, but can provide suitable environment for fertilisation and further development.

ZIFT (Zygote Intra Fallopian Transfer) is a method in which the zygote or early embryo (having 8 blastomeres) is transferred directly into the fallopian tube.

ET (Embryo Transfer) is a method in which the fertilisation is done in vitro and the formed embryo is transferred into the uterus of the female who cannot conceive.
