Parturition -

  • The average duration of human pregnancy is about 9 months which is called the gestation period. 
  • Vigorous contraction of the uterus at the end of pregnancy causes expulsion/delivery of the foetus. 
  • This process of delivery of the foetus (childbirth) is called parturition.
  • The signals for childbirth originate from the fully matured foetus and placenta which induce mild uterine contraction called the foetal ejection reflex.

Hence, the correct option is (c).
