Solution

The correct option is D Withdrawal method

Pills are combinations of estrogen and progesterone. These inhibit ovulation by sending negative feedback to the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary, thereby preventing the release of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), and Luteinizing Hormone (LH).

Tubectomy is a surgical procedure in females in which the fallopian tubes are cut and ligated.

It is the terminal method of contraception and leads to sterility.

The above three can be included in the artificial methods of contraception and thus, are highly efficient.

Intrauterine devices are inserted inside the uterus and they make the uterus unsuitable for implantation.

The withdrawal method or coitus interruptus method is a natural method and requires no artificial device/surgical intervention. The male partner withdraws his penis from the vagina just before ejaculation.

This method has a high rate of failure as the pre-seminal fluid generally contains sperms and chances of the withdrawal not being properly timed are very high.
