• B. Taking oral pills
• C. Sterilization method
• D. Using Copper-T

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Taking oral pills

• Oral contraceptives are commonly known as 'the pill', or 'birth control pill'.
• Most birth control pills contain a combination of the hormones estrogen and progestin, which is why they are also called 'combined pills' or 'combination pills'.
  
• The pill works mainly by changing the body's hormone balance so that the woman does not ovulate.
• It is more effective if taken correctly and consistently.

So the correct answer is option B.
