Solution
The correct option is D pills, injections and skin implants.
Hormonal contraceptives that pertain to women include pills, skin implants and injections.
Steroidal pills inhibit ovulation and prevent implantation. They also alter the quality of cervical mucus, thus preventing the entry of the sperms.
Implants are rods placed under the skin in the upper parts of the buttocks or the arms. Being similar to steroidal pills in function, their efficacy is 99%.
Injections are administered intravenously which consist of progestogens alone or progestogens in combination with estrogen.
CuT is a copper releasing IUD used as a contraceptive by women. It does not contain hormones rather it releases copper ions that affect the motility of sperms in the female reproductive tract.
