Options:

B) Ovulation

C) Fertilisation

D) Egg maturation

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[a] The Copper-T does not prevent ovulation (release of an egg from the ovary), egg maturation, or implantation of a blastocyst (fertilized egg) into the uterine wall. Its primary mechanism is to prevent fertilization by creating a hostile environment for sperm.

Copper ‘T’ is an intrauterine device which prevents the fertilised egg becoming implanted in the wall of the womb.
