Answer 1

The correct option is C All of the above

Condoms:

Condoms are barriers made up of thin rubber or latex sheath that are used to cover the penis in the male and cervix in the female.


These are effective barriers for insemination:

Condoms are barrier contraceptive methods which prevent the physical meeting of gametes.


They do not interfere with coital act:

Condoms do not interfere with the coital act as they just prevent the physical meeting of the gametes.


These help in reducing the risk of STDs:

Condoms are barrier methods and prevent the intermixing of body fluids which may carry disease causing germs.

Thus, they are the contraceptive methods that also prevent sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) like AIDS.

Final answer: d. All of the above
