• B. (i) and (ii)
• C. (iii) and (iv)
• D. (ii) and (iv)

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

(i) and (ii)

Condom, made of thin rubber or latex, is used to cover the penis in the male just before coitus so that the ejaculated semen (sperms) do not enter into the female reproductive tract. Diaphragms, cervical caps, and vaults are also made of rubber and are inserted into the female reproductive tract to cover the cervix during coitus. They prevent conception by blocking the entry of sperms through the cervix.

So, the correct answer is '(i) and (ii)'
