D. (C), (D)

Answer

To analyze the statements regarding contraception, we will evaluate each statement one by one to determine their correctness.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Statement 1: Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) during the first trimester is generally safe.**
- **Evaluation:** This statement is correct. MTP is legal in many countries, including India, and is considered safe when performed within the first trimester (up to 12 weeks). The procedure is regulated and can be conducted under medical supervision to ensure the safety of the woman.

2. **Statement 2: Generally, chances of contraception are nil until the mother breast-feeds the infant up to two years.**
- **Evaluation:** This statement is incorrect. While breastfeeding can have a contraceptive effect, it is typically effective only for the first six months postpartum. This is known as the lactational amenorrhea method (LAM). After six months, the chances of conception increase, and breastfeeding alone is not a reliable contraceptive method for two years.

3. **Statement 3: Intrauterine devices like Copper-T are effective contraceptives.**
- **Evaluation:** This statement is correct. Intrauterine devices (IUDs), such as Copper-T, are effective forms of contraception. They work by preventing sperm from fertilizing the egg and can remain in place for several years, providing long-term contraception.

4. **Statement 4: Contraceptive pills may be taken up to one week after coitus to prevent conception.**
- **Evaluation:** This statement is incorrect. Emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) are most effective when taken within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected intercourse. Some types may be effective up to 5 days, but they are not effective if taken one week after coitus.

### Conclusion:
From the evaluations:
- **Correct Statements:** 1 and 3 (A and C)
- **Incorrect Statements:** 2 and 4 (B and D)

Thus, the correct answer is that statements 1 and 3 are true.
