How do tubal ligations and vasectomies prevent further pregnancies?

Select one:

a. The Fallopian tubes and vas deferens are cut and tied off, thereby preventing the movement of the eggs and sperm.

b. The Fallopian tubes and the vas deferens are cut. Eggs and sperm can no longer be produced.

c. The Fallopian tube and vas deferens are cut and tied off, thereby reducing needed reproductive hormone levels.

d. The corpus luteum and the epididymis are suppressed using a chemical swab. The fertilized egg could no longer implant in the endometrium.

isn't the answer a or b?

Yes, the correct answer is A. The vans deferens is not actually "tied" but rather cauterized. This does not 100% gaurentee that the sperms movement will be prevented (as they may be able to travel out of the cauterized space).
