Answer 1

The correct option is (c) Coitus interruptus

Easy explanation: Withdrawal, also called coitus interruptus, is a method used to prevent the ejaculation of semen into the female genital tract. This is one of the most effective natural methods as it prevents semen, which is rich in sperms from entering the female genital tract and hence avoids pregnancy.
