Which of these is a permanent method of contraception?

Correct option is D

Sol. Permanent contraception involves surgical methods that permanently block the reproductive pathways. Tubal ligation in women prevents the egg from reaching the uterus, and vasectomy in men prevents sperm from reaching semen. These are long-term, irreversible choices for family planning.
Explanation of each option:
· (a) Tubal ligation – Correct for women, involves blocking or cutting fallopian tubes. However, it doesn’t include the male method.
· (b) Vasectomy – A permanent method for males involving cutting or sealing the vas deferens, but excludes female method.
· (c) MTP – Medical Termination of Pregnancy is a method for abortion, not a contraceptive method; and not preventive in nature.
· (d) Tubal ligation and vasectomy – Correct. Together, they represent permanent sterilization methods for both men and women.
