E) None of the answers are correct.

Accepted Answer

The first trimester (weeks 1-12) is the most dangerous time period in prenatal life as it is characterized by the most rapid and critical developments of organs and structures. During this time, the embryo is more susceptible to genetic abnormalities, environmental factors, and other disturbances that may lead to spontaneous abortions or birth defects.
