Answer 1

The correct option is C Fertilization outside and gestation inside womb of mother

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process by which an egg is fertilized by sperm outside the body: in-vitro. The process involves monitoring and stimulating a woman's ovulatory process, removing ovum or ova (egg or eggs) from the woman's ovaries and letting sperm fertilize them in a liquid in a laboratory. The fertilized egg (zygote) is cultured in a growth medium and is then implanted in the same or another woman's uterus, with the intention of establishing a successful pregnancy.
