C is not listed as an option. The main duties of midwives typically included:
- Assisting pregnant women during labor and delivery

- Conducting regular check-ups and monitoring the health of the mother and baby
- Educating women about prenatal care and healthy behaviors during pregnancy
- Administering medications and performing medical procedures, if necessary
- Offering emotional support and counseling to pregnant women and their families
- Providing postpartum care and guidance to new mothers
- Promoting breastfeeding and helping mothers with lactation issues
- Providing guidance and education on newborn care and infant feeding
- Collaborating with doctors and other healthcare professionals when needed
The correct answer is B) To purchase food & take care of pregnant women.
Midwives were responsible for providing care to pregnant women during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. Their main duties included monitoring the health and well-being of the expectant mother and the developing fetus, providing guidance and education on proper nutrition and exercise during pregnancy, assisting with the delivery process, and offering emotional support to the mother. They also helped with breastfeeding and postpartum care for both the mother and the newborn.
