Correct Answer is ["A","B"]

Explanation

A. Effacement refers to the thinning of the cervix, making it easier for the cervix to dilate during labor.
B. Effacement also involves the shortening of the cervix, contributing to the progressive dilation during labor.
C. Engagement refers to the descent of the fetal head into the pelvic inlet, not a part of effacement.
D. Effacement does not involve the cervix becoming wider; dilation refers to the opening of the cervix.
E. Effacement does not involve the cervix becoming lower; descent of the presenting part is associated with engagement.
