Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Lactational Amenorrhea refers to the absence of menstruation. The basis of this method lies on the fact that ovulation and subsequently the menstrual cycle do not occur during the period of intense lactation following parturition. The chances of conception are almost nil, till the time mother breast-feeds the child fully.
This method has no relation whatsoever with the phagocytosis of sperms.
