Solution

The correct option is B In GIFT, egg and sperm is placed inside the fallopian tube and in ZIFT fertilized zygote is placed in the fallopian tube

GIFT (gamete intrafallopian transfer) and ZIFT (zygote intrafallopian transfer) are modified versions of in vitro fertilisation. Like IVF, these procedures involve retrieving an egg from a woman and re-implanting it after manipulation. Unlike IVF, the timing between mixing the sperm and eggs and the transfer is faster. In GIFT, the sperm and eggs are mixed together and immediately inserted. On the other hand, with ZIFT, the fertilised eggs (zygotes) are inserted within 24 hours of the mixing.
