Final answer:

Seizures are not a common side effect of oral contraceptives; whereas, stroke, heart attack, and blood clots are known potential complications.

Step-by-step explanation:

The potential complication associated with taking oral contraceptives that is NOT listed as a common side effect is B. seizure. Oral contraceptives are known to have several negative side effects that include an increased risk of stroke or heart attack, blood clots, and certain types of cancers such as breast, ovarian, and endometrial cancer. They may also be associated with gall bladder disease and possibly depression or dementia. However, seizures are not commonly listed as a side effect of oral contraceptives.
