Match List-I with List-II: List-IList-II A. TubectomyI. Barrier metho…

The correct answer is Option (3) → A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I

Contraceptive methods fall into groups such as barrier methods, IUDs, oral contraceptives and surgical methods. Each item in List-I is one example of a group.

(A) Tubectomy — this matches (III) Surgical method. It is the sterilisation procedure in the female, in which a small part of the fallopian tube is removed or tied up.

(B) Saheli — this matches (IV) Oral contraceptive. It is the new oral pill for females, with a non-steroidal preparation, taken once a week.

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

(D) Cervical caps — this matches (I) Barrier method. Like diaphragms and vaults, they are rubber barriers that cover the cervix during coitus.

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

NCERT Extract:
Population Stabilisation and Birth Control – “… Diaphragms, cervical caps and vaults are also barriers made of rubber that are inserted into the female reproductive tract to cover the cervix during coitus.”
Population Stabilisation and Birth Control – “… These Intra Uterine Devices are presently available as the non-medicated IUDs (e.g., Lippes loop), copper releasing IUDs (CuT, Cu7, Multiload 375) and the hormone releasing IUDs (Progestasert, LNG-20) (Figure 3.2).”
Population Stabilisation and Birth Control – “… Saheli–the new oral contraceptive for the females contains a non-steroidal preparation.”
Population Stabilisation and Birth Control – “… Sterilisation procedure in the male is called ‘vasectomy’ and that in the female, ‘tubectomy’. In vasectomy, a small part of the vas deferens is removed or tied up through a small incision on the scrotum (Figure 3.4a) whereas in tubectomy, a small part of the fallopian tube is removed (Figure 3.4b) or tied up through a small incision in the abdomen or through vagina.”
