Read the given statements and select the correct option. Statement-1 : MTP is considered relatively safe during the first trimester of pregnancy Statement-2 : Foetus becomes intimately associated with the maternal tissue after the first trimester

Options

A. S-1 is false and S-2 is true
B. Both S-1 and S - 2 are true
C. S-1 is true and S-2 is false
D. Both S-1 and S-2 are false

Answer

To analyze the given statements and select the correct option, we can break down the information as follows:

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understanding Statement-1**:
- Statement-1 states that "MTP is considered relatively safe during the first trimester of pregnancy."
- This is true. Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP), or induced abortion, is generally safer during the first trimester (the first three months of pregnancy) when the fetus is still developing and is not yet fully attached to the maternal tissues.

2. **Understanding Statement-2**:
- Statement-2 states that "Fetus becomes intimately associated with the maternal tissue after the first trimester."
- This is also true. After the first trimester, the fetus develops more complex connections with the maternal tissues, primarily through the placenta, which facilitates nutrient and waste exchange. This association makes it more challenging and riskier to perform an abortion after the first trimester.

3. **Conclusion**:
- Since both statements are true, we can conclude that both statements are correct. Therefore, the correct option is that both statements are true.

### Final Answer:
- The correct option is **B**: Both statements are true.
