c. thickens mucus
d. thins lining of uterus
please select the best answer from the choices provided.
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

Hormone - based birth control methods aim to prevent pregnancy. They do so by preventing ovulation (so ovaries do not release eggs, which is what option B is, so B is a valid way), thickening cervical mucus (so sperm have a harder time reaching the egg, option C is a valid way), and thinning the uterine lining (so a fertilized egg has a harder time implanting, option D is a valid way). Causing ovaries to release extra eggs (option A) would increase the chance of pregnancy, not prevent it.

Answer:

A. causes ovaries to release extra eggs
