Answer
(3) Non-Medicated IUD
Solution
As per NCERT, intra uterine devices (IUDs) are of three types:
(i) non-medicated IUDs, e.g. Lippes loop;
(ii) copper releasing IUDs, e.g. CuT, Cu7, Multiload 375;
(iii) hormone releasing IUDs, e.g. Progestasert, LNG-20.
Diaphragms, cervical caps and vaults are barriers made of rubber, not IUDs.
