ANS: A, C, E
Absolute contraindications for induction of labor include vasa previa or complete placenta previa, transverse fetal lie, umbilical cord prolapse, previous classical cesarean delivery, active genital herpes infection, and previous myomectomy. Breech presentation and severe hypertension are relative contraindications, meaning that induction is possible, but caution should be exercised.
