Solution
The correct option is
D
novestrol
Antifertility drugs are chemical substances which suppress the action of hormones that promote pregnancy.
An antifertility drug is novestrol (Ethynylestradiol). Another example of antifertility drugs is norethindrone.
Veranal and Equanil are tranquillizers. Histamine is not a drug. Histamine stimulates the secretion of HCl and pepsin in the stomach.
Hence, option A is correct.
