The placental condition shown in the picture above represents placenta previa.
Chances of placenta previa are increased in case of history of prior cesarean section
“The probability of placenta previa is four times greater in patients with prior cesareans than in patients without uterine scars.”
Therefore, option a is correct (partly though) because the option says two-fold increase As far as – other options are concerned
Option ‘b’ i.e. it is more common in primipara is absolutely wrong as – placenta previa is more common in multipara.
Option ‘c’ It is more common in developed countries.
Now that is incorrect because ‑
“Increased family planning acceptance with limitation and spacing of birth, lowers the incidence of placenta previa.”
