Solution

The correct option is C Novestrol
Novestrol is a synthetic derivative of the natural estrogen estradiol. It is one of two estrogens currently used in oral contraceptive pills. The other, mestranol, is converted to novestrol before it is biologically active. Novestrol and norethindrone are used together as an oral contraceptive agent.
