Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Periodic abstinence is a method in which the couples avoid or abstain from coitus from day 10 and 17 of the menstrual cycle when ovulation could be expected.
As chances of fertilization are very high during this period, it is called fertile period (`10^(th) 17^(th)` day).
Therefore, by abstaining from coitus during this period, conception could be prevented.
