AShe has been pregnant once and gave birth to viable triplets
BShe has been pregnant three times and has had one miscarriage
CShe has been pregnant once and has had three miscarriages
DShe has been pregnant three times and has given birth to one viable child

✓ Correct answer: D. She has been pregnant three times and has given birth to one viable child In obstetric notation, 'G' (gravida) refers to the total number of times a woman has been pregnant, and 'P' (para) refers to the number of times she has delivered a viable fetus. Therefore, G3P1 means she has been pregnant three times and has delivered one viable baby.
