Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The age of fetal viability is 20 weeks' gestation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Although most amniotic fluid appears to be derived from maternal blood, the fetus also adds to the fluid by excreting urine into it. Oligohydramnios, or decreased amniotic fluid, is therefore associated with renal anomalies.
