Solution

The correct option is D Tubectomy
There are different types of contraceptives that are used. Among them, sterilisation at present is the most effective and permanent means of birth control. There are two ways to sterilise both males and females. The sterilisation procedure for a female is called tubectomy and that of the male is called vasectomy. Although sterilisation is a permanent and most effective form of birth control it is difficult to reverse.

In tubectomy, a small portion of the fallopian tube is removed or through a small incision in the abdomen or through the vagina. This prevents the link between the ovaries and the womb.
All other three modes of contraception are also effective and help in birth control but they are not as permanent as the surgical contraceptive methods. There remain chances of failure in all the cases at minor levels.
Periodic abstinence is avoiding intercourse during the fertile period of the female (day 10th17th of a menstrual cycle).
Withdrawal of the penis from the vagina just before ejaculation of the semen is called coitus interruptus.
From the options given above, Tubectomy which is the surgical removal of a small portion of the fallopian tube, which obstructs the passage of egg into the uterus thus preventing fertilisation and pregnancy is a long-lasting and safe method of birth control is called tubectomy.
