In vitro fertilization is a process by which an egg is fertilized by sperm outside the body. The process involves monitoring a woman's ovulatory process, removing ovum or ova (egg or eggs) from the woman's ovaries and letting sperm fertilize them in a fluid medium in a laboratory. The fertilized egg (zygote) is then transferred to the patient's uterus with the intention of establishing a successful pregnancy.
Correct Option: B

Protein is required by the body for the growth, maintenance and repair of all cells. Protein is a major component of all muscles, tissues and organs and is vital for practically every process that occurs within the body such as metabolism, digestion and the transportation of nutrients and oxygen in the blood. When the proteins that we consume in our food are broken down through digestion into individual amino acids, these amino acids are then absorbed and reform in order to create new proteins that are then used by the body.

The human body regulates temperature by keeping a tight balance between heat gain and heat loss. The hypothalamus responds to various temperature receptors located throughout the body and makes physiological adjustments to maintain a constant core temperature. Perspiration lowers body temperature when sweat evaporates, since conversion of liquid water to gaseous form takes energy.
