• B. Stimulating ovulation
• C. Stimulating the motility and secretory activity of oviduct

Answer 1

The correct option is A Inhibiting ovulation

Oral contraceptives are a preparation consisting of one or more synthetic female sex hormones taken by women to prevent conception. Most oral contraceptives are combined pills consisting of an oestrogen which blocks the normal process of ovulation and a progesterone which acts on the pituitary gland to block the normal control of menstrual cycle.

So, the correct answer is option A.
