Correct Option: C
Test tube baby is born from in vitro fertilization. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process by which an egg is fertilized by sperm outside the body: in vitro.

The fertilized egg (zygote) is then transferred to the patient's uterus with the intention of establishing a successful pregnancy.
