Solution

The correct option is C Contain a mixture of estrogen and progesterone derivatives
Birth control pills contain the combination of estrogen and progesterone derivatives which will prevent the ovulation, i.e., the release of eggs from ovaries. Birth control pills thickens the cervical mucous and thins the lining of uterus (endometrium). This will not facilitate sperm reaching the egg.
