• B. Cervical cap
• C. Vault
• D. Multiload 375

Answer 1

The correct option is A LNG-20

The hormone-releasing intrauterine device (IUD) is a small T-shaped device made of flexible plastic. It is inserted into the uterus, where it releases a low daily dose of a progestin hormone called levonorgestrel. These are available by prescription and must be inserted and removed by a doctor. The hormone-releasing IUD is also known as the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system or LNG-IUS. Hormone-Releasing IUD can reduce women's menstrual bleeding and pain. It has been used to treat symptoms related to endometriosis, adenomyosis, and uterine fibroids. It may also prevent endometrial hyperplasia, abnormal growth of cells in the lining of the uterus. And it may help protect against endometrial cancer.

So, the correct option is 'Option A, LNG-20'.
