Hint: An intrauterine device is a tiny, often T-shaped birth control device, also known as the intrauterine contraceptive device or coil. To stop pregnancy, it is inserted into the uterus. One form of long-acting reversible birth control is IUDs.

Complete answer: LNG-20 is a levonorgestrel releasing (LNG) IUD that induces endometrial atrophy and alters stroma to prevent implantation. Sperm phagocytosis in the uterus is also growing. Here we can say copper releasing IUDs, namely as Multiload 375, CuT, Cu7, etc., releases copper that suppresses the sperm of the motility, which in turn decreases its capacity to fertilize.
The Lippes loop is barium sulfate impregnated with IUD. It is a double "S" plastic ring, a trapezoid-shaped IUD that tightly wraps around the uterine cavity contours, minimizing the incidence of expulsion.
To allow removal, a fine double plastic thread (monofilament) or "tail" is connected to the lower end. Lippes loop is pre-packaged with an introducer in a polyethylene/paper pouch, along with an insertion tube. It sterilizes this device. It is necessary to insert the injection tube through the mouth of the womb and into the womb (uterine cavity).
So, the correct answer is “Option C”.

Note:
The most widely used contraceptive tool in the world is the intrauterine system (IUD). It is effective, long-acting and easily reversible. It is also one of the most cost-effective strategies, and most women, including those who need to prevent estrogen, can use it. Some risks, including the risk of uterine perforation, malposition and expulsion of the device, excessive bleeding and infections, are associated with IUD use.
