Answer:
The contraceptive method that is considered hormonal birth control is the mini-pill (first choice), since it contains progestin.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mini pill contains a progestogen-type hormone, whose contraceptive effect is to inhibit ovulation and produce thickening of the uterine mucosa.
Since there is no ovulation or sperm cannot penetrate the uterus, fertilization is not possible.
The other options are not correct because:
- Both the diaphragm and the female condom are barrier methods, which prevent sperm from entering the uterus.
- Spermicide is a chemical preparation that affects the motility or viability of sperm. In some cases it can be used in combination with barrier methods.
In any case, these other methods do not involve the hormonal addition that only has mini pill.
