Samantha, a pregnant wife, found that she was set to have septuplets. however, she feared that she would be unable to support all her children financially and decided to undergo an operation that would abort some fetuses. in this scenario, samantha is undergoing a procedure known as
a) egg freezingb) artificial inseminationc) surrogacyd) selective reduction

D. Selective reduction

Explanation:

This one is simple and to show you why let's do some order of elimination.

A. Egg Freezing

This one can't possibly be right as you see in the question it says fetuses and the label itself says eggs, in egg freezing surgery is done to remove a females fertile eggs and freeze them for use later. Not an abortion as this is only down with fertile but not inseminated eggs.

B. Artificial Insemination

This one is obviously wrong too as artificial insemination is when through a more test tube or petri dish style method a egg is artificially fertilized one way or another and surgically put into the mother to impregnate her. This is mostly for otherwise infertile couples but anyone can do this. This is also the opposite of an abortion.

C. Surrogacy

This one is also incorrect obviously as a surrogate mother is someone who is impregnated by a male and has a child for somebody else, that woman being infertile, once again opposite of an abortion.

And the correct answer

D. Selective Reduction

Selective Reduction is when someone artiffically aborts some but not all selectively from the womb, to effectively reduce the amount of children produced, Hope this helps!
