The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Lactational Amenorrhea**: - Lactational amenorrhea refers to the absence of menstrual periods during breastfeeding. It occurs due to hormonal changes that suppress ovulation. 2. **Identifying the Effects**: - During intense lactation, the body produces high levels of the hormone prolactin, which is responsible for milk production. This hormone also inhibits the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), leading to reduced levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **a. Secretion of milk from breast**: This is not prevented; in fact, lactational amenorrhea is associated with milk secretion. - **b. Conception**: This is the primary effect of lactational amenorrhea, as ovulation does not occur, making conception unlikely. - **c. Secretion of prolactin**: Prolactin levels are actually increased during lactation, so this is not prevented. - **d. Spermatogenesis**: This is a process that occurs in males and is unrelated to lactational amenorrhea. 4. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **b. conception**, as lactational amenorrhea prevents ovulation and thus reduces the chances of becoming pregnant during the breastfeeding period.
