Solution

The correct option is B

Vasectomy


Vasectomy is a surgical procedure for male sterilization and/or permanent contraception. During the procedure, vas deferens are cut and tied/sealed in a manner so as to prevent sperms from entering into the seminal stream (ejaculate). This prevents fertilization.
Tubectomy is the similar process in females. Hysterectomy is the removal of uterus.
