Answer:

Correct Answer: B) zygote into the Fallopian tube

Solution:

  • In some IVF procedures, the zygote (fertilized egg) is transferred into the Fallopian tube, a process known as Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer (ZIFT). This is different from the more common practice of transferring the embryo directly into the uterus, which is known as Embryo Transfer (ET).
