A Correct answer
Explanation

Oral contraceptive pills work primarily by inhibiting ovulation through synthetic hormones (estrogen and progestin) that suppress the natural hormonal cycle. This prevents egg release from the ovaries. They do not create physical barriers (like condoms) or directly kill sperm or ova - those are mechanisms of different contraceptive methods like IUDs or barrier methods.
