Answer: The correct answer is that it prevents the release of an egg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jane's intake of Progestin-only pills would stimulates the secretion of an antiovulatory hormone named PROGESTERONE.

Since ovulation involves the release of an egg from her ovary, the pills she takes would serve as contraceptive; thus, preventing the release of egg which happens to be a step that COUNTERS pregnancy
