A
non uterine pregnancy
B
ectopic pregnancy
C
Fallopian tubal pregnancy
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the main cavity of the uterus. An ectopic pregnancy most often occurs in a fallopian tube, which carries eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. This type of ectopic pregnancy is called a tubal pregnancy.

Detailed explanation-2: -A pregnancy starts with fertilization, when a woman’s egg joins with a man’s sperm. Fertilization usually takes place in a fallopian tube that links an ovary to the uterus. If the fertilized egg successfully travels down the fallopian tube and implants in the uterus, an embryo starts growing.

Detailed explanation-3: -Salpingectomy is the surgical removal of a fallopian tube. Salpingostomy (also called neosalpingostomy) is the creation of an opening into the fallopian tube, but the tube itself is not removed in this procedure.
