At this stage, which fruit size is used to describe the fetus?

• A. Apple
• B. Banana
• C. Pomegranate
• D. Grapefruit

Answer: (C)

Fetal growth is often described using familiar fruit sizes to help you picture how big the baby is as pregnancy progresses. A fetus described as the size of a pomegranate sits at a mid-to-late stage of development—larger than early references, but not yet at the largest sizes used later in pregnancy. This sizing choice gives a tangible sense of substantial growth without implying the baby is at full term yet. An apple would refer to an earlier, smaller stage, a banana indicates mid-pregnancy but smaller than a pomegranate, and a grapefruit describes a later, much larger stage. So the pomegranate size best fits the stage described.
