Explanation
Answer: B - Propulsive phase and expulsive phase

The second stage of labor starts at full dilation of the cervix, and ends with expulsion of the fetus. The second stage of labor includes the propulsive and expulsive phase. The propulsive phase starts at full dilation of the cervix, and the expulsive phase is determined by maternal bearing down effort and delivery of the baby.
