The answer is the last one: implantation occurs outside of the uterus.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Donated sperms are deposited in the uterine tube: This statement is incorrect. Ectopic pregnancy is not related to the deposition of donated sperms in the uterine tube. Ectopic pregnancy specifically refers to the location of implantation, not the source of the sperm.

  2. The blastocyst implants high in the uterus near the uterine tube: This statement is incorrect. While implantation high in the uterus might be unusual, it is still within the uterus and does not constitute an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy involves implantation outside the uterus.

  3. The pregnancy lasts more than 40 weeks: This statement is incorrect. The duration of the pregnancy does not define an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is defined by the location of the implantation, not the length of the pregnancy.

  4. Implantation occurs outside of the uterus: This statement is correct. An ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg implants and grows outside the main cavity of the uterus, most commonly in a fallopian tube, but it can also occur in the ovary, abdominal cavity, or the cervix.

Summary: An ectopic pregnancy occurs when implantation occurs outside of the uterus.
