Solution

The correct option is C (i) and (iv)
Surgical (sterilisation) methods of contraception prevent pregnancy by blocking gamete transport and hence their fertilisation. Surgical method in male is called vasectomy and in female, it is called tubectomy. Both methods are very effective but their reversibility is very poor. They are generally regarded as terminal methods to prevent any more pregnancies.
