Solution

The correct option is B
Stop fertilization
The copper IUD's primary mechanism of action is to prevent fertilization. Copper acts as a spermicide within the uterus, thus preventing the process of fertilization.

The presence of copper increases the levels of copper ions, prostaglandins, and white blood cells within the uterine and tubal fluids.

So, the correct answer is "Stops fertilization"
