As we have already studied in Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) -

  • Medical termination of pregnancy or abortion is the termination of pregnancy before the foetus becomes viable.
  • MTPs are considered relatively safe during the first trimester, i.e., up to 12 weeks of the pregnancy. Second-trimester abortions are much riskier because foetus becomes intimately associated with the maternal tissues after the first trimester.

Hence, the correct option is (a).
