• A. Male condom, Diaphragms
• B. Nirodh, Female condom
• C. Vaults, Cervical caps
• D. LNG-20, Multiload-375

Answer 1

The correct option is B Nirodh, Female condom

Both male and female condom provide protection to STIs in addition to contraception. ‘Nirodh’ is a popular brand of male condom.

Diaphragms, cervical caps and vaults are also barrier methods of contraception like condoms but they do not provide protection from STIs.

Multiload-375 and LNG-20 are examples of IUDs. They provide contraception but do not provide protection from STIs.
