Read the passage carefully and give the answer to the next five questions:

India was amongst the first countries in the world to initiate action plans and pro grammes at a national level to attain total reproductive health as a social goal. These programmes called ‘family planning’ were initiated in 1951 and were periodically assessed over the past decades. Improved programmes covering wider reproduction related areas are currently in operation. Creating awareness among the people about various reproduction-related aspects and providing facilities and support for building up a reproductively healthy society are the major tasks under these programmes.

Match List-I with List-II:

List-I (Assisted Reproductive Technologies)	List-II (Process Involved)
(A) ZIFT (B) ICSI (C) IUI (D) IUT	(I) Transfer of semen from a healthy donor into the female reproductive tract (II) Transfer of fertilised egg up to 8 blastomere stage into fallopian tube (III) Formation of embryo in vitro by injecting sperm into ovum (IV) Transferring of embryo with more than 8 blastomeres into uterus

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct option is (A)- (III), (B)- (II), (C)- (I), (D)- (IV).

Here is the step-by-step explanation of the matching between the Assisted Reproductive Technologies (List-I) and the processes involved (List-II):

1. (A) ZIFT (Zygote Intra Fallopian Transfer) matches with (III) Formation of embryo in vitro by injecting sperm into ovum:
ZIFT is a type of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) where fertilization is performed outside the body (in vitro). The fertilization process, which can involve techniques like injecting a sperm into the ovum in a laboratory setup, leads to the formation of the embryo. Once the embryo is formed, it is prepared for transfer into the fallopian tube.

2. (B) ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) matches with (II) Transfer of fertilised egg up to 8 blastomere stage into fallopian tube:
In the context of these options, the embryos created through specialized microinjection techniques like ICSI are subsequently transferred. Zygotes or early embryos containing up to 8 blastomeres are transferred directly into the fallopian tube to proceed with natural development.

3. (C) IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) matches with (I) Transfer of semen from a healthy donor into the female reproductive tract:
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is used to treat infertility caused by low sperm count or inability of the male partner to inseminate the female. In this procedure, semen collected from the husband or a healthy donor is introduced artificially into the female reproductive tract (uterus).

4. (D) IUT (Intrauterine Transfer) matches with (IV) Transferring of embryo with more than 8 blastomeres into uterus:
Intrauterine Transfer (IUT) is an embryo transfer procedure where embryos that have developed past the early stage (having more than 8 blastomeres) are transferred directly into the uterus for implantation and further development.
