Final answer:

The Ortho Evra patch is contraindicated for patients with HTN or thromboembolic disorders.

Step-by-step explanation:

The transdermal contraceptive that is contraindicated for patients who have hypertension (HTN) or thromboembolic disorders is the Ortho Evra patch (A). This patch is applied to the skin and releases the hormones progestin and estrogen into the bloodstream to prevent pregnancy. However, these hormones can increase the risk of blood clots, which is why it is not recommended for individuals with HTN or thromboembolic disorders.
