Gravida refers to the total number of pregnancies including the current one. Para refers to the number of pregnancies that have reached viability. Thus, if the woman has had one abortion, she would be considered Para 3. Twin pregnancy is counted only as 1.

---

Option A: Gravida should be 5 since the woman is on her 5th pregnancy.

Option C: Para should be 3 because twin pregnancies are counted as one and the woman has one abortion.

Option D: Gravida should be 5 since the woman is on her 5th pregnancy.
