Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Womb.

  • The word womb is the best choice because it refers to the part of a woman's body where a baby develops during pregnancy, aligning with the context of female foeticide.
  • The other options—liver, intestine, and kidney—are unrelated to pregnancy or where a fetus develops.
  • Thus, "womb" is the most accurate and appropriate word in this context.
