GIFT stands for:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Gamete intra fallopian transfer

GIFT is one of the assisted reproductive technologies. An ovum from a donor is placed in the fallopian tube of a woman who cannot make ova but can provide a suitable place for fertilisation and development. So the letters stand for gamete intra fallopian transfer.

(1) Gamete inter fallopian transfer — Incorrect. The transfer is made into (intra) the fallopian tube, not between (inter) tubes.

(2) Gamete intra fallopian tube — Incorrect. The last word is “transfer”, because the technique is a transfer of gametes. The tube is only the place.
