Answer:

D. to help patients keep the habit of taking the pill at the same time every day

Step-by-step explanation:

Most packs of birth control pills come with a week of placebo pills that don't contain any hormones. They're just there to keep you the habit of taking a pill every day. Usually, you'd get your period while taking these placebo pills.
