Statement I - Second trimester abortions are much more complicated.
Statement II - After 12 weeks the foetus becomes intimately associated with the maternal tissues.

Both statement I and II are correct .

The correct answer is Option (3)- Both statement I and II are correct .

MTP is the termination of pregnancy before the foetus becomes viable. It is done to get rid of unwanted pregnancy.It is considered safe up to 12 weeks or during the first trimester only because during the second trimester the foetus becomes intimately associated with the mother and during that period termination of pregnancy might be very risky for the mother.

Statement I "Second trimester abortions are much more complicated" is generally true, and the Statement II "After 12 weeks, the foetus becomes intimately associated with the maternal tissues" is also correct. There are multiple factors contributing to the increased complexity, such as the size of the foetus, the development of organs, and the associated medical risks.
