The explanation is accurate, as amniocentesis is a process used to determine the sex of the foetus and test for genetic abnormalities. The claim is also accurate because the abuse of amniocentesis for sex determination did result in a legal prohibition intended to stop the threat of female foeticide. The argument, however, is incorrect because the rationale does not indicate that the restriction was enacted mainly to prevent female foeticide. Instead, it was being used improperly for selective abortion and sex determination, which is why the ban was put in place. Therefore, choice B is the right response.
