- B.Barrier method, Lactational amenorrhea, Pills.
- C.CuT, Pills, Emergency contraceptives.
- D.Pills, Emergency contraceptives, Barrier methods.
Correct Answer
(A) Lactational amenorrhea, Pills Emergency contraceptives.
Solution & Explanation
Answer: (a) Lactational amenorrhea, Pills Emergency contraceptives. Solution: Lactational amenorrhea works through hormonal suppression of ovulation during intense lactation, oral pills use progestogen/estrogen, and emergency contraceptives use progestogens or progestogen-estrogen combinations — all three are hormone-based. Barrier methods and CuT (a copper IUD) act mechanically/physically without hormones, so options containing them are wrong. NCERT Reference: Reproductive Health, p.45 — "Administration of progestogens or progestogen-estrogen combinations or IUDs within 72 hours of coitus have been found to be very effective as emergency contraceptives"
