Since the woman no longer has a uterus, she cannot carry a pregnancy herself. In vitro fertilization (IVF) using a surrogate mother who carries the embryo to term would be the best choice for her to have a biological child. Option B (IVF using donated sperm) could also be a possibility, but it wouldn't allow her to have a biological child with her own eggs. Option C (amniocentesis) is a prenatal diagnostic test used to detect genetic abnormalities in a developing fetus, and option D (embryo cloning) is not currently a viable option for human reproduction.
