Solution

The correct option is A 1/5th
Approximately 45 to 50 million MTPs are performed in a year all over the world which accounts to 1/5th of the total number of conceived pregnancies in a year.

The Government of India legalised MTP in 1971 with some strict restrictions so that it will not be misused.

MTPs are relatively safe when performed during the first trimester and get riskier afterwards.
