Correct
Option B:
A, C, D, F only
Option C:
A, B, C, D only
Option D:
A, B, C, E, F only

Answer: A

Step-by-step solution

IVF requires expensive instruments and reagents, so B is correct. Couples opting for IVF may pursue biological parenthood instead of adopting orphans, so D is correct. There is a real possibility that the early embryo does not survive transfer/implantation, so F is correct. High fatality risk to the mother is not a standard drawback of IVF, so A is incorrect. 'Husband/wife necessary for being donors' is not a drawback; donor gametes can be used when needed, so C is incorrect. IVF is available in India, so E is incorrect. Hence the correct combination is $B, D, F$ only, i.e., option A.
