Explanation
Answer: D - Developed in France in the 1940s by Dr. Fernand Lamaze <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernand_Lamaze>, this method is also referred to as psychoprophylaxis. As an alternative to medical intervention during childbirth <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childbirth>, the Lamaze method seeks to increase a mother's confidence in her ability to give birth through classroom instruction on normal labor and coping.
