Fetal movement and a detectable heartbeat are usually observed around 17-20 weeks of pregnancy. This is also known as the "quickening" stage, which is when the mother can feel the baby's movements. Fetal heartbeat can be heard using a stethoscope or Doppler ultrasound during this stage. Therefore, option C is the most appropriate choice.
