The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Surrogacy**: Surrogacy is a reproductive option where a woman (the surrogate mother) carries and delivers a baby for another individual or couple who cannot conceive or carry a pregnancy to term. 2. **Role of the Surrogate Mother**: The surrogate mother is not the biological mother of the child. Instead, she carries the embryo that may be created using the eggs of the intended mother or a donor and the sperm of the intended father or a donor. 3. **Artificial Insemination**: The process typically involves artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization (IVF). In artificial insemination, sperm is directly introduced into the uterus of the surrogate mother. 4. **Identifying the Correct Definition**: From the options provided, the correct definition of a surrogate mother is one who is artificially inseminated to carry a pregnancy for another individual or couple. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the answer to the question "Surrogate mother is" is that a surrogate mother is an "artificially inseminated female." ### Final Answer: A surrogate mother is an artificially inseminated female. ---
