select the correct answer.
how does emergency contraception reduce the risk of pregnancy?
a. it stops the release of eggs from the ovaries.
b. it improves the movement of sperm.
c. it destroys the fertilized egg.

Explanation:

Emergency contraception (like certain pills) primarily works by preventing ovulation, i.e., stopping the release of eggs from the ovaries. Option B is incorrect as it doesn't improve sperm movement. Option C is incorrect as it doesn't destroy a fertilized egg (and in many cases, if fertilization has occurred, it doesn't act on the fertilized egg in that way; its main action is pre - fertilization, like preventing ovulation or interfering with fertilization). So the correct option is A.

Answer:

A. It stops the release of eggs from the ovaries
