Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In barrier methods, ovum and sperms are prevented from physically meeting with the help of barriers. Such methods are avialable for both males and females. Condoms are barriers made of thin rubber/latex sheath that are used to cover the penis in the male or vagina and carvix in the female, just before coitus so that the ejaculated semen would not enter into the female reproductive tract. This can prevent conception.
