The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Oral Contraceptives**: - Oral contraceptives are pills taken by females to prevent pregnancy. They are typically composed of hormones, primarily estrogen and progesterone. 2. **Function of Oral Contraceptives**: - The primary function of these pills is to control the female reproductive cycle, specifically to prevent ovulation. 3. **Hormonal Mechanism**: - The hormones in the oral contraceptives work by inhibiting the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland. This inhibition prevents the ovaries from releasing an egg (ovulation). 4. **Preventing Fertilization**: - Since no egg is released, there is no opportunity for fertilization to occur. Therefore, oral contraceptives effectively prevent pregnancy by stopping ovulation. 5. **Eliminating Other Options**: - The question presents several options: - **Implantation**: This is the process where a fertilized egg attaches to the uterus. Oral contraceptives do not prevent implantation since they primarily prevent ovulation. - **Fertilization**: This is the union of the sperm and egg. If there is no egg due to the action of the contraceptives, fertilization cannot occur. - **Entry of sperm into the vagina**: This is not affected by oral contraceptives, as they do not act as barriers. 6. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer to the question is that oral contraceptives are used by females to check **ovulation**.
