(C) "Prenatal screening is not usually necessary unless you are among a high-risk group."

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is D: "you need to be aware that if abnormalities are detected, termination is normally required."

Explanation:

The prenatal diagnosis consists of a series of tests carried out during pregnancy to try to identify possible congenital defects of the fetus or maternal risk factors that could endanger the life of the pregnant woman and warrant strict control and monitoring. It is also worth informing parents that in case of very severe fetal defects or malformations, it is necessary to consider the possibility of suspending pregnancy.
