Answer 1

The correct option is C Fertilization of ovum takes place in the test-tube but it develops in the uterus

A test-tube baby is a term that refers to a child that is conceived outside the woman's body. The process is referred to as in vitro (outside the body) fertilisation. The sperm and zygote fuses outside the body. The fertilised egg is then later-on implanted in the uterus of the female.

So, the correct answer is option C.
