Solution

The correct option is C preventing ovulation
Contraceptive pills contain high concentrations of progesterone and low doses of oestrogen. This leads to suppression of FSH and LH secretion (because progesterone has inhibitory effect on FSH and LH). The menstrual cycles continue but without ovulation thereby providing contraception.
