Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Three days before and after ovulation

In rhythm method of birth control a couple plans when they will have sexual intercourse based on the female partner's menstrual cycle and avoids intercourse during ovulation, or the time someone's most likely to get pregnant. When done correctly, the rhythm method can be very effective. If egg and sperm can't meet to fertilize, there is no chance of pregnancy. Abstinence has to be practiced on more than just one or two days as the egg is able to be fertilized for one to two days.

So the correct option is 'Three days before and after ovulation'.
