The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the oral contraceptives developed by CDRI and their lesser side effects, we will analyze each option provided in the question step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the context The question is about oral contraceptives developed by the Central Drug Research Institute (CDRI) and specifically mentions that they have lesser side effects. We need to identify the reason for these lesser side effects from the given options. ### Step 2: Analyze the options Let's break down each option: - **Option (a)**: Contains a non-steroidal preparation. - This option suggests that the contraceptive has a unique formulation that does not involve steroids, which is known to cause various side effects in traditional contraceptives. - **Option (b)**: Contains both estrogen and progesterone. - While many oral contraceptives do contain these hormones, this is not the reason for lesser side effects in the case of the CDRI-developed contraceptive. - **Option (c)**: Inhibits ovulation and implantation. - Although this is a common mechanism of action for many contraceptives, it does not specifically relate to the lesser side effects of the CDRI contraceptive. - **Option (d)**: Has to be taken for a period of 21 days. - The duration of intake does not directly correlate with the side effects experienced by users. ### Step 3: Identify the correct answer Based on the analysis: - Option (a) is correct because the oral contraceptive developed by CDRI, known as Saheli, is based on a non-steroidal preparation, which is responsible for its lesser side effects compared to traditional steroid-based contraceptives. ### Conclusion The correct answer is **(a) contains a non-steroidal preparation**. ---
