Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A medication abortion involves taking two pills, mifepristone and misoprostol. The mifepristone stops the pregnancy from growing and the misoprostol causes the uterus to contract and expel the contents. This process causes a breakdown in the uterine lining and uterine contractions that expel the fetus. So, option C is the best choice.
