Answer: Option D. DES (Diethylstilbestrol)

Explanation:

Diethylstilbestrol was given to pregnant women to prevent complications during pregnancy. These could include having a miscarriage or giving birth too early. There were possibilities that the daughters of the women who used DES to prevent miscarriage were more likely to get a certain kind of cancer of the vagina and cervix. Diethylstilbestrol, or DES, is a synthetic form of estrogen. Estrogen is a female hormone. DES was given to millions of pregnant women between 1938 and 1971.
