Answer and Explanation:

Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) involves procedures that intentionally alter the female genital organs which causes injuries for no-medical purpose.

Referring to World Health Organization (WHO) website, more than 200 million females have been cut in 30 countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. The procedures have no health benefits and will cause severe bleeding, problems urinating, infections, as well as complications in childbirth and increased risk of newborn deaths. FGM is usually carried out on young girls between infancy and the age of 15.

Reviewing the group of answers, (a) seems to be less likely to be true because FGM is widely spread in particular areas like Africa, the Middle East and Asia, but not related to ethnicity.
