The process of placing donor sperm or semen from a man into the reproductive tract of a woman who is not his intimate sexual partner, for the purpose of initiating a pregnancy.

• A. Intrauterine insemination
• B. IVF
• C. Embryo transfer
• D. Donor insemination

Answer: (D)

Donor insemination is the term for introducing semen from a donor into a woman's reproductive tract to achieve pregnancy. This name specifically highlights the source of the sperm being someone other than the woman's partner, which is the scenario described. The other options describe either the technique or a different overall process. Intrauterine insemination refers to placing sperm directly into the uterus, which can use donor sperm but isn’t defined by the donor source itself. IVF involves fertilizing eggs outside the body and then transferring embryos, not insemination with donor sperm. Embryo transfer is about moving an embryo into the uterus, not about providing donor sperm. So, the description aligns with donor insemination because it centers on using donor semen to start a pregnancy.
