The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Contraceptive Oral Pills**: Contraceptive oral pills are medications taken by females to prevent pregnancy. They usually contain hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. 2. **Mechanism of Action**: The primary way these pills work is by preventing ovulation. This means that they stop the ovaries from releasing an egg (ovum) during the menstrual cycle. 3. **Hormonal Regulation**: The hormones in the pills regulate the menstrual cycle and inhibit the natural hormonal signals that trigger ovulation. 4. **Impact on Sperm**: By preventing ovulation, these pills also reduce the chances of sperm meeting an egg, as there is no egg available for fertilization. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question of how contraceptive oral pills help in birth control is option B: preventing ovulation. ---
