The Correct Option is

Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is option (E): upto 12 weeks
Pregnancy in humans lasts for more than nine months (266 days). Additionally, labour might occur early on or even nine months later. Pregnancy is broken down into three-week phases called trimesters: First Trimester: This covers mostly the weeks one through twelve. Pre-embryonic development, or embryonic development, is this. The second trimester lasts from week thirteen to week twenty-four. The majority of the body components normally develop at this period of foetal development. The third trimester includes the weeks beginning at week 25 and ending with the baby's delivery. Some of the child's most significant changes occur during this period, including the production of blood cells, the hardening of the bones, the development of the sense organs, and the appearance of the fingernails. Medical termination of pregnancy (MTP), often known as an induced abortion, is the intentional or voluntary termination of a pregnancy before full term. MTPs are regarded as comparatively safe up to 12 weeks into the first trimester of pregnancy.

The human gestation period or pregnancy lasts for over nine months or 266 days. At times, childbirth also takes place prematurely or even after nine  (9) months. The entire process of pregnancy is split into trimesters of three intervals:

  • First Trimester: This comprises the period mainly from week one to twelve. This is the embryonic or pre-embryonic development stage.
  • Second Trimester: This comprises the period from week thirteen to the twenty-fourth. This is the stage of fetal development and normally, most the body parts develop in this stage.
  • Third Trimester: This comprises the period from week twenty-fifth to that of the birth of an infant. This stage spectates some of the major developments in the child such as the formation of the blood cells, bones turning hard, sense organs being developed and the fingernails are also visible by this stage.
