a. endometritis c. uterine involution
b. uterine atony d. retained placental fragments
C
The scenario indicates a normal uterine involution with contractions that becomes more noticeable when breastfeeding, which facilitates involution. Uterine atony is a lack of uterine contractions. Retained placental fragments would interfere with uterine involution.
