(a) (i) and (ii)

Answer 2

Correct statements regarding contraception are - (d) (i) and (iii)

In the statement, "Generally chances of conception are nil until mother breast-feeds the infant upto two years.", time period is six months rather than two years.

Breast feeding is a natural method of birth control. This is possible because during six months, if baby is fed only by mother's milk, with proper method, ovulation doesn't take place.

In the statement, "Contraception pills may be taken upto one week after coitus to prevent conception.", pills are to be taken for more than one week.

Contraceptive pills are artificial method of birth control. They need to be taken for 21 days of a month regularly. They are not taken only during 7 days of period.

They regulate hormone levels to prevent ovulation. Thus, inhibiting fertilization.
