Childbirth using an incision through the abdomen and uterus is known as:

A) breech birth
B) episiotomy
C) therapeutic abortion

D
Explanation: The term cesarean section was first used to describe this surgical alternative to vaginal birth during Roman times because it was thought that Julius Caesar was born in this way. However, his family name, Caesar, had its origin from such a birth, which literally means "to cut," centuries before the birth of Julius.
