Harry was a pre-term newborn who was born after 26 weeks of pre-natal development. He now is a healthy, happy 2-year-old. Harry's ability to survive after being born so early was due in part to his reaching the:_______.a) term of post-natal development.
b) germinal period.
c) neurogenesis point.
d) age of viability.

Respuesta :

Answer: d) age of viability

Explanation:

Age of viability is the duration to which  a premature child can survive after coming out of uterus. This period of time usually occurs in 22 weeks to 26 weeks.

According to the question, Harry is a healthy baby even after pr-mature delivery after 26 weeks because survival probability increases from 26 weeks to 28 weeks as chances of surviving become almost 80% to 90%

Other options are incorrect because post-natal development is the development of child after birth. Germinal period is the duration after conception. Neurogenesis point is the node of neurons working.Thus, the correct option is option (d)
