Answer 1

The word intra uterine means inside the uterus. Intrauterine devices are one of the contraceptive devices which are actually inserted into the uterus as a part of birth control. It is usually T shaped and inserted through the cervix and said to be one of the easiest and most effective birth control methods.

Complete answer:
So, the use of intrauterine devices has been discussed. Let us know what comes under these devices. These devices are two types namely hormonal and copper. Hormonal IUD after placing in the uterus, starts releasing small amounts of progesterone that prevents sperm from reaching the egg. Ex: Skyla, Mirena. Copper IUD is non hormonal where copper is used to prevent pregnancy. Ex: Cu-T, lippes loop, LNG-20, multiload-375. There are other contraceptives to prevent pregnancy that include condoms that act as a barrier to vagina and prevent semen from entering into it. Diaphragms, vaults and cervical caps are meant to cover the cervix and are not inserted inside the uterus. Spermicides are the chemicals which kill the sperm in the vagina. Today is a contraceptive sponge which is inserted into vagina. Based on the above explanation, we have found four intrauterine devices.

Hence, the correct option is A

Note:
Apart from the above mentioned contraceptives, there are some other contraceptive methods like oral pills, implants, injections, contraceptive rings etc. The best birth control methods include intrauterine devices and implants. It may have few side effects like irregular menstrual cycles, pelvic inflammation etc.
