The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding IUDs**: - IUD stands for Intrauterine Device, which is a form of contraception inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. 2. **Types of IUDs**: - There are two main types of IUDs: - **Copper-releasing IUDs**: These release copper ions which create an environment that is toxic to sperm. - **Hormone-releasing IUDs**: These release hormones (usually progestin) that alter the uterine environment. 3. **Identifying the Advantages of Hormone-releasing IUDs**: - The question asks for an additional advantage of hormone-releasing IUDs specifically. 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option 1**: Increased phagocytosis of sperms - This is an advantage of IUDs in general but not specific to hormone-releasing IUDs. - **Option 2**: Suppress sperm motility and fertilizing capacity of sperms - This is an advantage of copper-releasing IUDs, not hormone-releasing ones. - **Option 3**: They make the uterus unsuitable for implantation and cervix hostile to the sperms - This is a correct advantage of hormone-releasing IUDs. - **Option 4**: They always inhibit ovulation - This is an advantage of contraceptive pills, not IUDs. 5. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is that hormone-releasing IUDs make the uterus unsuitable for implantation and cervix hostile to the sperms. ### Final Answer: The additional advantage of hormone-releasing IUDs is that they make the uterus unsuitable for implantation and cervix hostile to the sperms.
