Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

A post-term pregnancy is defined as one that has extended beyond 42 completed weeks (294 days) from the first day of the woman's last menstrual period. A full-term pregnancy is typically considered to be around 40 weeks or 280 days. Therefore, a pregnancy continuing for more than 294 days is classified as post-term.
