• B. Tubectomy
• C. Diaphragms
• D. IUDs (Intrauterine devices)

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

IUDs (Intrauterine devices)

• The most prevalent form of contraception used in India includes IUDs followed by barrier methods and then the contraceptive method.
• These Intra-Uterine Devices (IUDs) are presently available as the non-medicated IUDs (e.g., lippes loop), copper releasing IUDs (CuT, Cu7, Multi load 375), and the hormones releasing IUDs (Progestasert, LNG-20).
  
• IUDs increase phagocytosis of sperms within the uterus and the Cu-ions released suppress sperm motility and the fertilizing capacity of sperms.
  

So, the correct answer is option D.
