B) pregnancy is described as ectopic.
C) pregnancy is considered normal.
D) woman will continue to menstruate throughout the 9 months of fetal growth.

Accepted Answer

Implantation within the fallopian tube results in an ectopic pregnancy, which is a potentially life-threatening condition. The fetus cannot survive and may cause damage to the mother's reproductive system if not detected and treated promptly. Placenta previa is unrelated to this situation. The woman will not continue to menstruate throughout pregnancy as the hormones released during pregnancy prevent menstruation.
