AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for a drug that is obtained through genetic engineering and is useful for treating infertility. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: The options provided include: - Calcitonin - Chorionic gonadotropin - Interleukins - Tissue plasminogen activator 3. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **Calcitonin**: This hormone is produced by the parathyroid gland and is involved in calcium metabolism. It is not related to infertility treatment. - **Chorionic gonadotropin**: This is a hormone that plays a significant role in reproductive health and is widely used in the treatment of infertility. It is also produced through genetic engineering, making it a suitable candidate. - **Interleukins**: These are a group of cytokines that act as local hormones in the immune system. They are not specifically related to infertility treatment. - **Tissue plasminogen activator**: This is a recombinant protein used to dissolve blood clots and is primarily associated with treating conditions like myocardial infarction, not infertility. 4. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: Based on the evaluations, the only option that is both obtained through genetic engineering and is useful for treating infertility is **chorionic gonadotropin**. 5. **Conclusion**: The correct answer to the question is **chorionic gonadotropin**. ---
