Solution

The correct option is D Both a and c
Spermicidal creams, jellies and foams not only can inhibit sperm motility, they also can degenerate the cell membrane of the sperms. Their effect however is for a short period, and not long lasting. They are effective when used along with other barrier methods rather than when used alone.
