Solution

The correct option is E A, C and D
The congenital defects in the unborn baby can be diagnosed by performing prenatal diagnosis. This method involves the collection of the amniotic fluid through amniocentesis. The cells in this fluid can be cultured or the DNA can be collected and karyotyping can be done. The blood can be tested for certain hormones to detect the presence of any chormosomal abnormalities of congenital defects.
Thus, the correct answer is option E.
