The correct Answer is:
A
Breast feeding is one of the natural contraceptive methods. It is known to suppress the production of Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GRH) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). The release of these hormones triggers ovulation. Breast feeding also leads to increased level of prolactin, a hormone that inhibits ovulation. So, even when a woman ovulates, her likelihood of convincing is low if she is breast feeding.
