Question 1
The third trimester of pregnancy begins at 28 gestational weeks (or 26 weeks from conception). Option C matches this.
Colostrum is the first milk produced by mammary glands. Oxytocin is a hormone for contractions, Pitocin is a synthetic oxytocin, Prolactin is for milk production (not the first milk). So Option B is correct.
Braxton - Hicks contractions are practice contractions and not the first sign of labor (true labor signs are different like regular contractions, effacement etc.). So the statement is False, Option B.
