Solution

The correct option is D LH
The hormonal birth control method uses hormones like estrogen, progesterone or a combination of both in the case of females thus increasing the levels of hormones, which in turn affects the normal process of ovulation and implantation.
LH is generally not used directly in contraceptive preparations.
Levonorgestrel is a synthetic progestogen used in hormonal contraception for females.
Testosterone is a male sex hormones that promote the process of spermatogenesis. Testosterone is used in some male contraceptives along with other ingredients like synthetic progesterone to compensate for the reduced testosterone production due to the use of these contraceptives.
