Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

The 2016 Bill proposed National and State Surrogacy Boards and permitted altruistic surrogacy for couples with proven infertility who met its additional conditions. It prohibited commercial surrogacy. It also required the surrogate to be a close relative who was an ever-married woman with a child of her own, aged 25–35, so the description of an unmarried woman aged 20–25 is incorrect.
