Correct Answer: confirm
Solution : The second option is the correct option. The word "confirm" is the most appropriate choice in this context because it means to establish the truth or correctness of something, which is exactly what the physician does with the blood test – they determine whether or not the woman is pregnant.
Term: It typically refers to a specific period
Confer: "Confer" means to grant or bestow something, such as an honour or title, upon someone.
Firm: stronghold or belief in something or someone. All these don't fit in the context.
So the correct sentence is "With a blood test, a physician was able to confirm the woman's pregnancy."
