The correct option is To allow fertilization to occur outside the body. To allow fertilization to occur outside the body is correct because it directly supports the approved learning objective to explain (HT only) why IVF can help some people with infertility have children. This belongs to the subtopic The use of hormones to treat infertility (HT only) within Hormonal coordination in humans, so the explanation must stay tied to that curriculum context.
