Solution

The correct option is B

Vasectomy


Vasectomy is a surgical procedure for male sterilisation and/or permanent contraception. During the procedure, the male vas deferens are severed and then tied/sealed in a manner so as to prevent sperms from entering into the seminal stream (ejaculate) and thereby preventing fertilisation.
Tubectomy is a similar process in females where the fallopian tube is sealed.
Hysterectomy is the removal of uterus which is carried out only is severe disease conditions.
Mastectomy is the medical term for the surgical removal of one or both breasts, partially or completely.
