- A A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I
- B A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
- C A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
- D A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(B) A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
According to the standard textbook on human reproduction:
By the end of the second month (8 weeks) of pregnancy, the foetus develops limbs and digits. Thus, B matches III.
By the end of 12 weeks (first trimester), most of the major organ systems are formed, including well-developed external genital organs. Thus, C matches IV.
During the fifth month (20 weeks), the first movements of the foetus and the appearance of hair on the head are observed. Thus, A matches II.
By the end of about 24 weeks (end of the second trimester), the body is covered with fine hair, eyelids separate, and eyelashes are formed. Thus, D matches I.
The correct matching is A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I.
