📋 Given Parameters & Problem Setup
Statement A High fatality risk to mother (Incorrect, IVF has low maternal mortality)
Statement B Expensive instruments and reagents (Genuine economic drawback)
Statement C Husband/wife necessary for being donors (Incorrect, third-party donors are permitted)
Statement D Less adoption of orphans (Genuine socio-ethical consequence)
Statement E Not available in India (Incorrect, widely available across India)
Statement F Possibility that the early embryo does not survive (Genuine biological limitation)
Is IVF available in India? YES (E is FALSE)! Is fatality risk to mother high? NO (A is FALSE)! Are husband/wife strictly necessary as donors? NO, donor gametes exist (C is FALSE)! Eliminating A, C, E leaves B, D, F only (Option 1)!
1 Examine Statement A: IVF does not carry a high fatality risk for the mother ⟹ A is FALSE. Discard options (2), (3), and (4) immediately!
2 This single elimination leaves Option (1) as the only possible answer!
3 Verify Statement B: IVF requires specialized high-precision instruments, sterile clean-rooms, and expensive culture reagents, making it unaffordable to many (TRUE).
4 Verify Statement D: Preoccupation with having biological children through expensive IVF discourages adoption of orphaned and abandoned children (NCERT socio-ethical point, TRUE).
5 Verify Statement F: Implantation rates per transferred embryo are limited; many early embryos fail to survive or develop (TRUE).
6 Select Option (1) in under 10 seconds!
🛡️ Why You Can 100% Trust This Shortcut: Assisted Reproductive Technologies (NCERT Biology · Reproductive Health: ZIFT vs IUT blastomere thresholds).
⚠️
Some candidates think invasive egg retrieval carries a high fatality risk. While ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a known minor complication, maternal mortality is extremely rare. Statement A is unequivocally false!
🛡️ How to avoid the -1 mark: Eliminate A immediately: IVF is not a fatal procedure!

NEET Biology Core Syllabus · Reproductive Health Standard Benchmark
Core Scientific Principle Tested:
"ART requires expensive precision instruments, has limited embryo survival, and adoption remains a neglected alternative."
Syllabus Focus: Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) & Infertility
No fatality (No A), yes available in India (No E), donors allowed (No C) ⟹ B, D, F only (Option 1)!
