(option "c" ruled out)Always remember- In ruptured ectopic, the tube is already damaged so the only surgery which has to be done is Salpingectomy, whether the patient is a young/old or whether she is nulliparous or multiparous. Their is no role of Salpingostomy (i.e. option "d" ruled out). As discussed in previous question in case of ectopic pregnancy salpingo oophorectomy is never done (i.e. option "b" ruled out).
