• C. They are available for both males and females.
• D. They are made from latex.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Male condoms with reservoir tips have great chances of semen leaking around the sides to the back of the condoms.

Condoms are made from a thick rubber/latex sheath that is used to cover the penis in males(external condoms) or vagina and cervix in females (internal condoms). Thus it functions as a barrier contraceptive that prevents spillage of fluid semen into the vaginal tract of the female

Most condoms come with a reservoir tip that allows ejaculate pooling. After ejaculation, this tip gets filled with semen. Condoms that do not have this reservoir tip may allow the semen to flow back along the inner sides of the condom and the fluid may spill inside the female genitalia if allowed to remain inside post ejaculation.
