(b)Able to prevent descent with oval
(c)Able to prevent sperm contact with the ovum.
(d)Ovicidal

Answer 1

Contraception allows them to put off having children and gap pregnancy until their bodies are fully able to support a pregnancy. It also helps to prevent pregnancy for older women who face pregnancy-related risks. Contraceptive use reduces the need for abortion by preventing unwanted pregnancies.

Complete answer:
A vaginal diaphragm is a shallow, bendable cup that you put inside your vagina. It covers your cervix during sex to prevent pregnancy. It helps in stopping sperm from joining an egg. In order to work best, it must be used with spermicide( a gel or a cream).

Additional Information: There are different methods of contraception, including:
-Long-acting reversible contraception, such as the implant or intrauterine device (IUD).
-Hormonal contraception, such as the intake of a pill or the Depo Provera injection.
-Barrier methods, such as condoms.
-Emergency contraception.
-Permanent contraception, such as Vasectomy and Tubectomy.
So, the correct answer is, ‘Able to prevent sperm contact with the ovum.’

Note: -Vasectomy is a surgical procedure performed on males. It is a permanent form of sterilization or contraception. The male vas deferens are severed and then tied or sealed to prevent sperms from entering the ejaculate and therefore it prevents fertilization. Tubectomy is also a method of permanent sterilization. This surgical procedure is performed on females, where the fallopian tubes are blocked so that the ova or eggs are prevented from traveling to the uterus. Hence, fertilization cannot take place.
-Vasectomy could be a simpler and safer procedure as compared to tubectomy. In fact, in no-scalpel vasectomy, there are no stitches. Also, the reversal of vasectomy is considered to be better and effective than tubectomy.
