• B. Spermicides
• C. Symptothermal method
• D. Two Day method
• E. Withdrawal method

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Cervical cap in nulliparous woman

Cervical cap in a nulliparous woman is a birth control method that is associated with the highest pregnancy rates with typical use. Because the cervical cap protects against pregnancy only for two days (48 hours) if it is used for more than 2 days(typical use) it may result in pregnancy. Nulliparous is a medical term that means a woman has never given birth to a baby. A cervical cap is a small dome-shaped cup that fits tightly around the base of a woman's cervix (the opening of the uterus at the top of the vagina.

So, the correct answer is 'Cervical cap in the nulliparous woman'.
