All of the following are properties of an *ideal* contraceptive EXCEPT:
AShould permanently abolish ovulation
BEffective and reversible with no/least side-effects
CShould not interfere with sexual drive, desire or act
DUser-friendly and easily available
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Should permanently abolish ovulation
An ideal contraceptive must be **reversible** — i.e., fertility should return on stopping the method.
Permanently abolishing ovulation contradicts reversibility (that would amount to sterilisation, not contraception in the ideal sense).
