Answer
A
Explanation
ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist) roles include: accompanying women to health facilities for antenatal care, using pregnancy test kits for early detection of pregnancy, and providing information on nutrition and immunization. However, ASHA is NOT trained to conduct deliveries — that is the job of trained Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM) or doctors. ASHA is a link worker, not a clinical provider.
