In this question, a passage is given followed by a statement. Read the passage carefully and judge the statement based on the given passage. A woman in Brazil who received a womb transplanted from a deceased donor has given birth to a baby girl in the first successful case of its kind, doctors reported. It comes after 10 previously known cases of uterus transplants from deceased donors - in the United States, the Czech Republic and Turkey - failed to produce a live birth. "The numbers of people willing and committed to donate organs upon their own deaths are far larger than those of live donors, offering a much wider potential donor population," Ejzenberg said in a statement about the results. She added, however, that the outcomes and effects of womb donations from live and deceased donors have yet to be compared, and said the technique could still be refined and optimised. Statement: A few countries tried this method of uterus transplants from deceased donors but none was successful in producing a live birth before Brazil. Choose the appropriate one from the following options A -The statement is definitely true B -The statement is probably true C -The statement is cannot be determined D -The statement is definitely false

- It explicitly states these 10 previous attempts "failed to produce a live birth".
- It highlights Brazil's case as the "first successful case of its kind" using a deceased donor.
Conclusion
Based directly on the information in the passage, the statement accurately reflects the success rate of deceased donor uterus transplants in other countries prior to the Brazilian case.
Therefore, the statement is definitely true.
The correct option is A.
