Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

When amniotic sac breaks and its internal fluid spilled then there are high chances that the fluid may enter into the throat of the infant and may block his/her air passage way. Therefore, in such situation a standard solution is formulated which requires the doctors to suction the air passageway of infant and restrict it from getting choked and contaminated with meconium. A valve mask is primarily used before suctioning  

Hence, option D is correct

What is a reducing sugar?
icang [17]
Reducing sugar is any sugar (all monosaccharides, some disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides) that is capable of acting as a reducing agent because it contains free aldehyde group or free ketone group.

Aldehyde group or alkanal is an organic compound containing formyl group. The formyl group is a functional group consisting of a carbonyl center bonded to hydrogen and an R group. This group can be readily reduced to primary alcohol with the help of catalyctic hydrogenation either applied directly or by transfer hydrogenation.

Ketone group unlike aldehyde group does not have a hydrogen atome bonded to the carbonyl group but it can still be hydrogenated.
