The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding diaphragms as contraceptive devices used by females, we will analyze each statement provided and determine their correctness. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Diaphragms**: Diaphragms are barrier contraceptives that are designed to prevent sperm from entering the uterus. They are typically dome-shaped and made of latex or silicone. 2. **Evaluating Statement (i)**: "They are introduced into the uterus." - This statement is **incorrect**. Diaphragms are not inserted into the uterus; instead, they are placed in the vagina to cover the cervix. 3. **Evaluating Statement (ii)**: "They are placed to cover the cervical region." - This statement is **correct**. Diaphragms are specifically designed to cover the cervix, preventing sperm from entering the uterus. 4. **Evaluating Statement (iii)**: "They act as physical barriers for sperm entry." - This statement is **correct**. By covering the cervix, diaphragms act as a physical barrier that prevents sperm from entering the uterus. 5. **Evaluating Statement (iv)**: "They act as spermicidal agents." - This statement is **incorrect**. Diaphragms themselves do not act as spermicidal agents. However, they can be used in conjunction with spermicidal creams, but the diaphragm alone does not have this property. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the evaluations: - Correct statements: (ii) and (iii). - Incorrect statements: (i) and (iv). ### Final Answer: The correct options are **(ii) and (iii)**. ---
