The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The baby produced by fertilization in a culture dish and nursing in the uterus is called a test tube baby. This method involves in vitro fertilization (IVF), i.e., fertilization of male and female gametes outside the body in almost similar conditions as that in the body followed by embryo transfer (ET). A .developing embryo can be inserted or implanted in the uterus of another female, who substitutes or takes the place of the real mother to nurse the embryo (surrogate mother). The success rate of the technique of producing test tube babies is less than 20%.

Concepts Used:
Reproductive Health
- The biological process by which a new individual or an offspring is produced from a parent or parents that are biologically similar or identical is known as reproduction. It is the elemental trait of all known forms of life. In fact, each and every individual have life because of reproduction.
- The state or position of male and female reproductive systems during their lifetime refers to their reproductive health. The system comprises organs and glands, including the pituitary gland in our brain, which are responsible for the production and release of hormones.
- In other words, reproductive health can be described as a state of physical, mental, and social well-being in all aspects relating to the reproductive system. It includes the liberation and appropriate capacity to reproduce as and when one decides to do so, apart from having a safe and satisfying sex life.
