Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Embedding of embryo in the thick lining of uterus

Fertilization of the egg takes place in the fallopian tube and then it travels to the uterus where the zygote sticks to the walls of the uterus. This embedding of zygote to the wall of the uterus is called as implantation.

So, the correct option is 'Embedding of embryo in the thick lining of uterus'.
