D Correct answer
Explanation

After 24 weeks, the fundal height increases by about 1cm/week. The head usually engages after 37 weeks in a nulliparous woman but is frequently not engaged before labour in multiparous women. Breech presentation is common before 34 weeks and is only of significance if the woman is in (preterm) labour.
