  • A
    CuT
  • Correct answer
    B
    LNG 20
  • C
    Cu7
  • D
    Multiload 375

Solution

LNG-20 is IUD that releases levonorgestrel (LNG), causes endometrial atrophy, and alters the stroma to inhibit implantation. It also increases sperm phagocytosis in the uterus.

The levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) is a safe, effective, and acceptable form of contraception. It also has a variety of non-contraceptive benefits including treatment for menorrhagia, endometriosis, and endometrial hyperplasia.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
