Solution & Explanation
Answer: (d) It is the transfer of an ovum collected from a donor into the fallopian tube of another female who cannot produce ovum but can provide suitable environment for fertilization and development. Solution: GIFT (Gamete Intra Fallopian Transfer) involves transferring an ovum from a donor into the fallopian tube of a female who cannot produce her own ovum but can provide a suitable environment for fertilisation and development. The distractors describe ZIFT/embryo transfer (up to 8 blastomeres into the fallopian tube) and IUT (into the uterus), not GIFT.
