hi ruchi,

here ans. should be d. tracheoesophageal fistula .

In NTD's and multiple pregnancy-AFP increases

while it is low in autosomal aneuploidy(down syndrome;trisomy-18) and

over estimated gestation

trisomy - 18

trisomy 've low alpha fetoprotein
twins, ''open''NTDs,and tracheo-eso fistula 've elevated alpha fetoprotein level

as, option C is just NTD( not 'OPEN') i think this is the ans??

Has to be tracheo oesophageal fistula

me too thinks that the answer should be tracheoesophageal fistula.

spina bifida occulta is a closed ntd, but afp levels are raised , though not too much.

more opinions are invited.
