Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
(A) Periodic abstinence — this matches (IV) Natural. The couple avoids sexual intercourse from day 10 to day 17 of the menstrual cycle, when ovulation is expected. No device or drug is used, so this is a natural method. Withdrawal is another natural method.
(B) Vaults — this matches (I) Barrier. Diaphragms, cervical caps and vaults are rubber barriers placed in the female reproductive tract to cover the cervix. They block the entry of sperms, so no fertilisation takes place.
(C) Saheli — this matches (II) Oral. Saheli is a pill for women that contains a non-steroidal preparation. It is taken only once a week and has very few side effects.
(D) Multiload 375 — this matches (III) IUD. It is a copper-releasing intra-uterine device. The copper ions released in the uterus reduce sperm movement and the power of sperms to fertilise.
