Explanation:

• Spermicide: Spermicides contain chemicals that kill sperm cells. However, they are not 100% effective in preventing pregnancy on their own. To increase their effectiveness, they should be used in combination with another form of birth control, such as a condom.
• Question 8 (Hormonal methods): Hormonal methods like the Pill, Vaginal Contraceptive Ring, and The Shot work by preventing ovulation or thickening cervical mucus. They do not create a physical barrier to prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Only barrier methods (like condoms) can provide some protection against STIs.
• Question 9 (Barrier methods): Male condoms are a widely used and effective barrier method for preventing STIs. When used correctly, they create a physical barrier that can block the exchange of bodily fluids (where STI - causing pathogens can be present). Female condoms also provide some protection but are less commonly used. Diaphragms are mainly used for contraception and do not offer reliable protection against most STIs as they do not cover the same area as condoms.

Answer:

• For the first question (Spermicide): All are true
• For Question 8: None prevent STIs
• For Question 9: Male Condom
