Answer 1

Hint: IVF is a form of assisted reproductive technology used in the treatment of infertility and also for gestational surrogacy. In the uterus of a surrogate, a fertilised embryo may be transferred, and the resultant offspring is genetically identical to the surrogate.

Complete answer:
First we should know about IVF to answer this question. In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a fertilisation process in which an egg is mixed, in vitro, with sperm outside the body. The procedure involves controlling and activating the ovulatory process of a woman, extracting an ovum or ova from the ovaries of the woman and causing them to be fertilised by sperm in a laboratory liquid.
Now, let us find the solution from the options-
1.Harsha Chawda was the first test tube baby from India, a feat that brought Dr Indira Hinduja, an IVF expert, a household name in the region. So when Harsha was born, Dr Hinduja was the ideal choice for a gynaecologist. Thus, option A is not the correct option.
2.On August 6, 1986, Dr Indira Hinduja conducted India's first successful IVF distribution. The daughter of Mani Chawda, Harsha, and was the first IVF baby in the world. Thus, option B is not the correct option.
3.Harsha Vardhan Reddy Buri (born 16 August 1986) became the first human test tube child in India, according to science records. The praise for this performance went to T. C. Anand Kumar, IRRR's Director (ICMR). Thus, option C is not the correct option.
4.Harsha Vardhan Reddy Buri (born 16 August 1986) became India's primary human test tube child. For this achievement, the credit headed to T. C. Anand Kumar, IRR Director (ICMR).

Hence, the correct answer is option (D)

Note: Some partners get pregnant with no fertility therapies following IVF procedure. In 2018, it was projected that 8 million children were born globally utilizing IVF and other methods of assisted reproduction.
