Correct option is B
The correct answer is:(B) Progesterone
Progesterone is the hormone commonly used in oral contraceptives (birth control pills).
It works by preventing ovulation, thickening the cervical mucus, and altering the uterine lining, making it difficult for a fertilized egg to implant.
Progesterone is often used in combination with estrogen in oral contraceptives to enhance their effectiveness.
Progestin, a synthetic form of progesterone, is also used in many hormonal birth control methods, including pills, IUDs, and implants.
Oral contraceptives are a popular and reliable method of birth control when used correctly.
Progesterone can also be prescribed for hormonal replacement therapy in postmenopausal women.
