Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT) is a technique of ART where eggs are collected from the ovaries and fertilized with sperm outside the body, and then the resulting embryos are transferred to the fallopian tubes. This is different from IVF, where fertilization occurs outside the body in a laboratory dish. In GIFT, the sperm and eggs are placed together in a small catheter, which is then inserted through a small incision in the abdomen and into the fallopian tubes. The embryos can then hopefully implant and grow naturally in the uterus.

GIFT is a less common ART technique compared to IVF and ICSI, and is generally used when there is a specific medical indication for it. Hence option C is the correct answer.
