Answer 1

Answer: (C)

'GIFT' stands for 'Gamete Intra Fallopian Tube Transfer'. It is an assisted reproductive technology used in females who cannot produce an ovum, but are capable of providing the necessary conditions for fertilisation and implantation. In this technique, the ovum is collected from a donor female and is transported to the fallopian tube of the mother.
