The correct option is D ii, iii and iv

Birth control devices are used during sexual intercourse to prevent the chances of unwanted pregnancies.
Such devices are available for both males and females. For example, Nirodh is a popular male condom which is barrier method of contraception.
Likewise diaphragm, vaults and cervical caps can be used by females. They cover the cervical area when inserted into female reproductive tract and prevent entry of sperms into the uterus. They are self-inserted and reusable.
