Correct Answer: D

This is because the test being referred to is likely amniocentesis, which involves extracting a small amount of amniotic fluid to analyze for genetic abnormalities, including spinal defects like spina bifida.
Choice A is incorrect because fetal lung maturity is typically assessed by tests like amniocentesis.
Choice B is incorrect as the test for Rh incompatibility is a blood test, not amniocentesis.
Choice C is incorrect as it is a general statement and not specific to the purpose of amniocentesis.
