Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III)
(A) Milk produced during the initial few days of lactation — this matches (II) Colostrum. This first milk is rich in antibodies, so it gives the newborn passive immunity.
(B) Process of delivery of the foetus — this matches (IV) Parturition. Strong contractions of the uterus, started by a signal from the foetus and the placenta, push the baby out.
(C) Blastocyst becomes embedded in the endometrium of the uterus — this matches (I) Implantation. The blastocyst attaches to the endometrium, and this leads to pregnancy.
(D) Ceasing of menstrual cycle at around 50 years of age — this matches (III) Menopause. The ovaries stop releasing ova and the cycle stops permanently.
