Solution

The correct option is C ii and iii
A diaphragm is a reusable rubber or silicone cup that covers the cervix. The diaphragm is inserted into the vagina with spermicide before sex to prevent pregnancy. The diaphragm is a birth control (contraceptive) device that prevents sperm from entering the uterus. Diaphragms do not act as spermicidal agents and are placed to cover cervical region, acting as physical barrier for sperm entry.
