✅ Correct Answer: C. Gestation
Explanation:
Gestation is the medical term for pregnancy—the period from fertilization (conception) until delivery, during which the embryo and later the fetus develops inside the uterus. In humans, the average gestational period is about 40 weeks (280 days), calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP).
Why the other options are incorrect:
🔹 A. Parturition – Refers to the process of childbirth (labor and delivery), not pregnancy itself.
🔹 B. Lactation – Refers to the production and secretion of breast milk by the mammary glands after childbirth.
🔹 D. Ovulation – Refers to the release of a mature ovum (egg) from the ovary, which occurs before fertilization and pregnancy.
📝 Quick Memory Trick
- Gestation = Pregnancy 🤰
- Parturition = Delivery 👶
- Lactation = Breastfeeding 🍼
- Ovulation = Egg release 🥚
