Match List-I with List-II: List-IList-II A. AmniocentesisI. Correctio…

The correct answer is Option (2) → A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

List-I mixes a test, a technique for infertility and two methods of contraception. Each one has a single use given in NCERT.

(A) Amniocentesis — this matches (III) Detection of genetic disorders. The fetal cells in a sample of amniotic fluid are tested for disorders such as Down syndrome.

(B) Artificial insemination — this matches (I) Correction of infertility due to very low sperm counts. Semen is introduced into the vagina or uterus artificially.

(C) Progestasert — this matches (IV) Hormone-releasing IUD. Progestasert and LNG-20 are hormone-releasing IUDs.

(D) Lactational amenorrhea — this matches (II) Natural method of contraception. It uses the absence of ovulation during intense breast-feeding, with no medicine or device.

So the correct matching is A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II.

Population Stabilisation and Birth Control – “… Lactational amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) method is based on the fact that ovulation and therefore the cycle do not occur during the period of intense lactation following parturition.”
Infertility – “… Infertility cases either due to inability of the male partner to inseminate the female or due to very low sperm counts in the ejaculates, could be corrected by artificial insemination (AI) technique.”
