    An extrauterine pregnancy in which the fertilized ovum begins to develop outside the uterus is:

    • Eclampsia

    • Toxemia

    • Ectopic

    • PID

    Correct Answer
    A. Ectopic
    Explanation
    An ectopic pregnancy refers to a situation where the fertilized egg implants and begins to develop outside of the uterus, typically in the fallopian tube. This condition is considered abnormal and can be life-threatening if not detected and treated promptly. Eclampsia and toxemia are conditions related to high blood pressure during pregnancy, while PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) is an infection of the female reproductive organs. Therefore, the correct answer for an extrauterine pregnancy is "ectopic."
