Answer 1

B, D, F only

Explanation:

Hormone injections, egg retrieval, and possible side effects like Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS), which can occasionally be fatal, are all part of IVF. Establishing and maintaining IVF labs is expensive. As a result, many people cannot afford IVF. Donor eggs or sperm can now be used in IVF, even for same-sex couples or single parents. Adoption rates decrease as IVF becomes more popular because couples desire biological children. In India, IVF is extensively accessible at both private and some public facilities. Any technique of reproduction, including natural pregnancy, can result in embryo loss. Therefore, it is a restriction on reproduction in general rather than IVF in particular.
