The answer would be: A) First trimester

Genetic malformation should happen when the baby is forming its organs. Most of the organ is formed at the 3rd weeks of pregnancy which is part of the first trimester. If there is no malformation at this stage, it is less likely that any will develop at the later stage since it involve more growing and developing the current organ.
