The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate each of the provided statements regarding oxytocin and determine which ones are true. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate Statement i**: "During parturition, oxytocin induces intense contractions in the uterus." - **Analysis**: This statement is true. Oxytocin is known to stimulate uterine contractions during childbirth (parturition). 2. **Evaluate Statement ii**: "After parturition, oxytocin stimulates milk ejection." - **Analysis**: This statement is also true. After childbirth, oxytocin plays a crucial role in the milk ejection reflex during breastfeeding. 3. **Evaluate Statement iii**: "The labour pain during child-birth is due to oxytocin." - **Analysis**: This statement is true as well. The contractions induced by oxytocin during labor contribute to labor pain. 4. **Evaluate Statement iv**: "Oxytocin is secreted from placenta and ovary." - **Analysis**: This statement is false. Oxytocin is primarily secreted by the posterior pituitary gland, not the placenta or ovary. ### Conclusion: Based on the evaluations: - Statements i, ii, and iii are true. - Statement iv is false. The correct option with all true statements is the one that includes statements i, ii, and iii. ### Final Answer: The correct option is the one that includes statements i, ii, and iii. ---
