    • Cervical cap

    • Cervical Diaphragm

    • Intrauterine device (IUD)

    Correct Answer
    A. Intrauterine device (IUD)
    Explanation

    An intrauterine device is a foreign body so that if it is inserted into the uterine cavity. the initial reaction is to produce inflammatory process and the uterus will contract in order to try to expel the foreign body. Usually. IUDs are coated with copper to serve as spermicide killing the sperms deposited into the female reproductive tract. But the IUD does not completely fill up the uterine cavity thus sperms which are microscopic is size can still pass through.
