Final answer:
The maternal screening test administered during weeks 8 to 10 to identify pregnancies at risk for a disorder associated with intellectual disabilities is the Triple Screen Test.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking to identify a maternal screening test administered during weeks 8 to 10 of pregnancy, which can identify risks for disorders associated with intellectual disabilities. The correct answer is c) Triple Screen Test. The Triple Screen Test, also known as the Maternal Serum Screening or the Triple Marker Test, is a blood test that measures levels of three important substances in the mother's blood and is used to evaluate the risk of certain chromosomal conditions like Down syndrome (trisomy 21) and neural tube defects.
Amniocentesis (a) and Chorionic Villus Sampling (b) are both diagnostic tests that can be carried out later in the pregnancy and involve collecting and testing fetal cells. These tests provide more definitive information but carry a higher risk. The Nuchal Translucency Test (d) is usually conducted between the 11th and 13th weeks of pregnancy and involves an ultrasound to measure clear space in the tissue at the back of the baby's neck. It is not the test specified for the weeks mentioned in the question.
