Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (A) - (IV), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (III)
(A) Non-medicated IUD — this matches (IV) Lippes loop. It is a plastic device that releases neither copper nor a hormone. It works only by lying in the uterus.
(B) Copper releasing IUD — this matches (I) Multiload 375. It carries copper, and the copper ions it releases lower the motility and the fertilising capacity of sperms. CuT and Cu7 are other examples.
(C) Hormone releasing IUD — this matches (II) LNG-20. It releases a hormone that makes the uterus unsuitable for implantation and the cervix hostile to sperms. Progestasert is another example.
(D) Barrier method — this matches (III) Vaults. A vault is a rubber barrier placed in the female reproductive tract to cover the cervix, so that sperms cannot enter through it. Condoms, diaphragms and cervical caps are also barriers.
Note: A similar question was also asked in CUET (UG) 2026 on 20-05-2026 (Slot 2), and in CUET (UG) 2025 on 22-05-2025 (Slot 1) and on 20-05-2025 (Slot 2).
NCERT Extract:
Contraceptive Methods – “… 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).”
Contraceptive Methods – “… 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. They prevent conception by blocking the entry of sperms through the cervix.”
