Answer 1

The correct option is D

All of the above

Reproduction and the matters surrounding it have always been of great interest to society. As important as getting pregnant and producing an heir to the family name has been for centuries, preventing embarrassing or unwanted pregnancies was just as important then as it is now. Of course, people had to protect themselves from possible infection, those nasty STDs, in the process.
