An ectopic pregnancy occurs when the embryo develops in
A
the vagina
B
the ovary
C
the Fallopian tube
D
the uterus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An ectopic pregnancy is when a fertilised egg implants itself outside of the womb, usually in one of the fallopian tubes. The fallopian tubes are the tubes connecting the ovaries to the womb. If an egg gets stuck in them, it won’t develop into a baby and your health may be at risk if the pregnancy continues.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ectopic pregnancy, in essence, is the implantation of an embryo outside of the uterine cavity most commonly in the fallopian tube. Smooth muscle contraction and ciliary beat within the fallopian tubes to assist the transport of an oocyte and embryo.

Detailed explanation-3: -An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg grows outside of the uterus. Almost all ectopic pregnancies-more than 90%-occur in a fallopian tube. As the pregnancy grows, it can cause the tube to burst (rupture). A rupture can cause major internal bleeding.

Detailed explanation-4: -An ectopic pregnancy happens when a fertilized egg implants outside of your uterus. The egg is meant to travel down your fallopian tubes and embed itself into the wall of your uterus, where it can develop. In an ectopic pregnancy, the egg implants in one of the structures along the way.
