Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The process where a portion of the vas deferens is removed/tied is called Vasectomy.

(A) MTP - Incorrect: Medical Termination of Pregnancy is abortion, not sterilization.

(B) Vasectomy - Correct: Male sterilization procedure blocking sperm transport.

(C) Tubectomy - Incorrect: This is female sterilization (blocking fallopian tubes).

(D) GIFT - Incorrect: Gamete Intra-Fallopian Transfer is an ART method.

The correct answer is (B) Vasectomy, a permanent male contraceptive method.

Answer 2

A vasectomy is a surgical procedure in which a small part of the vas deferens (the tube that carries sperm from the testes) is cut, tied, or sealed to prevent sperm from entering the ejaculate. This procedure is a form of male sterilization used for permanent contraception.

• MTP (Medical Termination of Pregnancy) refers to abortion.
• Tubectomy is a female sterilization procedure where the fallopian tubes are tied or cut.
• GIFT (Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer) is an assisted reproductive technology where eggs and sperm are placed directly into the fallopian tube.

Option (B) is correct because vasectomy is the procedure where the vas deferens is cut or tied.
