Answer: 2. Artificial Insemination

Key idea: When the male has a very low sperm count, semen is collected, concentrated and placed in the female tract: artificial insemination (AI/IUI).

NCERT gives AI for a male who cannot inseminate or has a low sperm count; the semen goes into the vagina or uterus. GIFT is for a female who cannot produce ova but can support fertilisation. ICSI injects a single sperm into an ovum in the lab and is not the NCERT answer here. Answer: (2).
