Correct Answer
(C) Vaults
Solution & Explanation
Answer: (c) Vaults Solution: Periodic abstinence, lactational amenorrhea and coitus interruptus (withdrawal) are all natural/traditional methods that work by avoiding chances of ovum and sperms meeting. Vaults, however, are barriers made of rubber inserted to cover the cervix, so they belong to the barrier method, making them the odd one out. NCERT Reference: Reproductive Health, p.44 — "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."
