Which term refers to a human being who is alive, including an unborn child at every stage of gestation from fertilization until birth?

• A. Law
• B. Misdemeanor
• C. Individual
• D. Government

Answer: (C)

The main idea is identifying a single living human being. The best term for that is individual, which denotes one person—alive at any stage, including an unborn child developing in gestation. The other options refer to systems or classifications (law, government) or to a category of acts (misdemeanor), not to a person, so they don’t fit the description of a living human being.
