Solution

The correct option is C Ovulation
  • Oral contraceptive pills contain small doses of estradiol or progesterone.
  • The higher blood level of progesterone exerts negative feedback on FSH and LH secretion by anterior pituitary which are the enzymes of follicle maturation and ovulation.
  • Contraceptive pills inhibit pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation.
So, the correct answer is option D.
