A. Intra uterine cadmium device
B. Intra uterine contraceptive device
C. Intra urethral copper device
D. All of the above

Answer 1

Hint: Birth is the result of reproduction. In humans, it takes place via the sexual intercourse between the male and female partner. Sometimes the child is unwanted or cannot be supported by the female's body, so has to either be aborted or avoided to be conceived by taking precautions. These precautions can be taken by consulting doctors.

Complete answer:
The reproduction is the process occurring inside the female body when the sperm fuses with the egg cell in the fallopian tube to give the zygote. This all happens after sexual intercourse.
To avoid the fusion or implantation of the zygote, some precautions can be taken prior/during the intercourse. These methods are called contraceptive methods.

They also help in the prevention of getting sexually transmitted diseases like HIV.
Condom and copper T are some of these methods. Some methods are temporary while some are permanent like a vasectomy.

> Option A: Intrauterine cadmium device: This IUCD does not have cadmium in it. Cadmium is toxic for the human body thus it will not be acknowledged to use such kind of thing.

> Option B: Intra uterine contraceptive device: IUCD is the device inserted in the uterus of the female to avoid the implantation of the zygote, hence there will be no pregnancy. It is a contraceptive method.

> Option C: Intra urethral copper device: IUCD can have copper in it but it is not intra urethral device rather is an intra uterine device. It is inserted in the uterus of the female, not the urethra.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).

Note: These are the emergency methods of birth control. It can be used within 5 days of intercourse. It is one of the most used and successful contraceptive methods. This copper-coated IUD will avoid the fertilization and the implantation if the fertilization somehow occurs. It does not give 100% surety.
