Correct Answer � B
Explanation

|
The condition shown in the picture above represents ectopic pregnancy as embryo is developing in the fallopian tube.
The vast majority of ectopic pregnancies implant in the Fallopian tube.
Pregnancies can grow in the infundibulum (18% of all ectopics), the ampullary section (55%), the isthmus (25%), and the interstitial part of the tube (20%).
Mortality of a tubal pregnancy at the isthmus or within the uterus (interstitial pregnancy) is higher as there is increased vascularity that may result more likely in sudden major internal hemorrhage.
