Solution

The correct answer is "miscarriage."

If a fetus dies before 20 weeks of pregnancy, it is classified as a miscarriage (also known as spontaneous abortion). Miscarriages are relatively common and can occur for various reasons, often related to genetic or developmental issues. This term specifically refers to losses that occur before the 20-week gestational point, distinguishing it from terms like stillbirth, which refers to the loss of a fetus after this period. Ectopic pregnancies refer to pregnancies that occur outside the uterus, and "none of the above" is not applicable in this context.
