Solution

The act of expelling the full term foetus from the uterus is termed as parturition.

Explanation:

Parturition is the act of expelling the full-term foetus from the mother’s uterus at the end of the gestation period. This process marks the birth of the baby. Gestation refers to the period from fertilization to birth; implantation is the attachment of blastocyst to the uterine wall; and capacitation refers to the maturation of sperm. Hence, parturition is the correct term for expelling the full-term foetus from the uterus.
