Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
List-I has one disease and three methods of birth control, each of a different kind.
(A) Hepatitis-B — this matches (IV) Venereal disease. It is one of the common sexually transmitted infections, also called venereal diseases.
(B) Saheli — this matches (III) Oral contraceptive. It is a once a week pill with a non-steroidal preparation.
(C) LNG-20 — this matches (II) Hormone-releasing IUD, like Progestasert.
(D) Coitus interruptus — this matches (I) Natural method of birth control. The male withdraws his penis just before ejaculation, without any device or medicine.
So the correct matching is A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I.
