Hint:- IUD the full form is an intrauterine device which is also known as an intrauterine
contraceptive device, which is small, sometimes it is T shaped device that is inserted to the uterus to

Complete step-by-step solution:-
IUD is safe and effective, even if it’s removed after a long time, the fertility returns to normal.
2. There are mainly 2 types of IUDs, that are
Non-hormonal: copper IUDHormonal: progestasert.Non-Hormonal: Non Hormonal copper-containing IUD, which have T shaped frame that is wounded with
pure electrolytic copper wire.They work mainly by damaging the sperm and disrupting their mobility.
Specifically, copper ions of the copper tube act as a spermicide, within the uterus by increasing the
copper ions and along with them, there is also an increase in prostaglandins, WBC, and other tubal
fluids.So in this all fluids the amount of copper ions increases, which inhibits the sperm motility and prevents the travel of sperm.Hormonal IUD:This is mainly worked by releasing a small amount of levonorgestrel, a progestin.Each hormonal IUD varies in the type, size, and amount of hormones and duration.The main mechanism of action of this hormonal IUD is they make the uterus wall in such a way which is inhabitable for implantation.Sometimes they also reduce the uterus wall thickness, which occurs rarely, in such cases, bleeding decreases in case of periods.This progesterone releasing IUD mainly acts locallyIUD has some advantages such as copper IUD are useful as an emergency contraceptive for up to five days, and some IUD has disadvantages which include inflammation in inserted areas, and changes in the bleeding patterns, etc.So the correct option is D.
Note:-
Some IUD contains or made up of silver or gold and they also exist in different shapes such as U-
shaped, and they may be loaded or multilobed and frameless, and some IUD holds the several hollow
cylindrical copper beads for support.
