Answer 1

The correct option is C Condom, Diaphragm, Cervical caps, Vaults

Condom, diaphragm, cervical caps, and vaults are included under barrier methods of contraception. Barrier methods of birth control are physical or chemical barriers that prevent sperm from passing through the woman's cervix into the uterus and fallopian tubes to fertilize an egg. These methods also protect against sexually transmitted disease (STDs).
