Answer :

The given statement," the areola linea alba darkens with pregenancy". is true. Option 1

True, during pregnancy, the areola and linea alba do darken. This change is due to an increase in melanocyte-stimulating hormone in conjunction with estrogens which results in higher melanin production.

The areolae darken and a line of pigment called the linea nigra forms, running from the umbilicus to the pubis. The linea nigra and darkened areolae are among several skin changes that occur during pregnancy.

Other changes may include stretch marks or striae on the abdomen, and chloasma or the "mask of pregnancy", which are blotchy brown patches of skin on the face. Option 1
