Solution

The correct option is C Pill
Oral contraceptive pills are usually hormonal preparations such as progestogens or progestogen-oestrogen combinations that are used as tablets for oral administration. These help in prevention of pregnancy by -
  • inhibition of ovulation
  • inhibition of motility and secretory activity of fallopian tubes.
  • changes in cervical mucus to not allow the passage and transport of sperms.
  • making the uterine endometrium environment unsuitable for implantation.
Morning after pills or emergency contraceptive pills can also prevent pregnancy if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. These contain high dose of oral contraceptive pills.
