A Caesarean section can be performed if the baby is in a breech position or lying crosswise in the uterus, or if the baby's head and shoulders are too small to pass through the mother's uterus. Therefore, D is the correct answer. Option C is incorrect because there is no fixed weight limit for a Caesarean section; it depends on various factors such as the mother's health, pelvis size, and fetal growth.
