Correct answer: A. It releases progestin that mainly prevents ovulation and thickens cervical mucus
- A. It releases progestin that mainly prevents ovulation and thickens cervical mucus
- B. It releases copper that destroys sperm and changes the uterine lining
- C. It blocks the fallopian tubes by causing permanent scarring

Explanation
Hormonal implants continuously release a progestin that suppresses ovulation and thickens cervical mucus, which limits sperm passage. Copper release is the mechanism of a copper intrauterine device, not a hormonal implant.
