Solution

The correct option is D Contraceptive pills
Contraception is an artificial method or other techniques used to prevent or avoid pregnancy as a consequence of sexual intercourse.

In the barrier method, the fertilization of ovum and sperm is prevented with the help of barriers. Barriers are available for both males and females.

Condoms, diaphragms and cervical caps are barrier methods of contraception which prevent entry of sperms in the female reproductive tract.

Condoms are barriers made of thin rubber that are used to cover penis in males and vagina in females.

Whereas, oral contraceptives methods like pills or drugs are taken orally. These contain small doses of hormones that prevent the release of eggs and thus fertilization cannot occur. Hence option d is correct.
