Solution

The correct option is B Voluntary termination of pregnancy before foetus becomes viable
Induced abortion (MTP) is voluntary termination of pregnancy before the foetus becomes viable.

Induced abortions are done under the supervision of trained medical professionals. Accidental loss of foetus is known as miscarriage.

The process of delivery of the foetus (childbirth) after completing the gestation period is called parturition.
