Infertility

GIFT involves transferring ova (eggs) and sperm directly into the fallopian tube, where fertilization (zygote formation) occurs naturally inside the recipient's body.

Option (B) is incorrect because GIFT does not involve transferring a zygote; it involves transferring gametes (ova and sperm).

Option (A) describes ZIFT (Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer), not GIFT.

Option (D) describes embryo transfer to the uterus, which is part of IVF, not GIFT.

Thus, the correct answer is (C).

The technique recommended by doctors to address infertility is (3) ART, which stands for Assisted Reproductive Technology. ART encompasses a variety of methods and procedures designed to assist couples or individuals in conceiving a child when they face fertility challenges.

Some common ART procedures include:

In vitro fertilization (IVF): Eggs are retrieved from the woman's ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory setting. The resulting embryos are subsequently transferred to the woman's uterus.

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI): A single sperm is directly injected into an egg to facilitate fertilization.

Intrauterine insemination (IUI): Sperm is collected, processed, and then inserted directly into the woman's uterus during her fertile period.

Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT): Both eggs and sperm are collected and placed together into the woman's fallopian tubes, allowing fertilization to occur naturally.

Zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT): Fertilized embryos (zygotes) are transferred into the woman's fallopian tubes.
