Solution
The correct option is D Vasectomy
Vasectomy is not a natural method of contraception. It is a surgical procedure which requires a part of the vas deferens to be tied and cut so as to prevent the sperms from reaching the urethra.
Coitus interruptus, periodic abstinence and lactational amenorrhea are all natural methods of contraception.
The withdrawal method of contraception (coitus interruptus) is the practice of withdrawing the penis from the vagina before ejaculation to prevent pregnancy. But this method has a high chance of failure.
Periodic abstinence is also known as the rhythm method. This approach entails not having sexual intercourse on the days of a woman's menstrual cycle when she could become pregnant i.e. around the time of ovulatory phase. This method also has a high chance of failure because the phases of the menstrual cycle are not always uniform in their duration.
Lactational amenorrhea, also called postpartum infertility occurs when a woman is fully breastfeeding. Elevated prolactin levels and a reduction of gonadotropin-releasing hormone during lactation suppress ovulation. This method also has chances of failure because the duration of amenorrhea may not be consistent.
