Answer 1

A: Lactation

Step-by-step explanation:

Lactation is simply the process of a woman’s breasts, producing “milk” from the mammary glands for the feeding of a child after she births. It must be pumped or drank, and provides all nessecary nutrients for the child’s survival, but there is a substitute usually in powder form to replace breast milk.

Answer 2

Please refer to the definition of words in layman's terms to know their differences:

Lactation means production of breast milk.
Sterilization is the process of getting rid of bacteria with the aid of heat.

Ovulation is the science of releasing ovules from the ovary.

Menstruation is the natural process of discharging blood and other substances from the uterus as a way of cleansing.

Based on the definitions, the correct answer is:

a. lactation
