    Implantation of the fertilized egg outside the uterine cavity is called

    • Abruptio placentae

    • Ectopic pregnancy

    • Placenta previa

    • Preeclampsia

    Correct Answer
    A. Ectopic pregnancy
    Explanation
    Ectopic pregnancy refers to the implantation of a fertilized egg outside the uterine cavity, typically in the fallopian tube. This occurs when the fertilized egg does not successfully travel to the uterus for implantation. It is a serious condition that can lead to complications and requires medical intervention. Abruptio placentae, placenta previa, and preeclampsia are unrelated conditions that involve complications during pregnancy but do not involve implantation outside the uterine cavity.
