Answer 1

The correct option is C 1 - Lippes loop, 2 - Copper T, 3 - Copper T with multiple slots, 4 - LNG - 20 (Mirena)

1. Lippes loop - This device has a peculiar double S shape and is made of a thin plastic or polyurethane wire.

2. Copper T - shaped like a T to fit snugly within the uterus and retain its position. The copper T often has a basic plastic frame, the stems and arms of which are wrapped with copper wire and that can be sometimes augmented with multiple slots

3. Copper T with multiple slots.

4. Mirena intrauterine device (IUD) - contains levonorgestrel, a female hormone that can cause changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus. Mirena is a plastic device that contains this hormone.
