Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
Physiological contraceptives are oral pills taken as tablets.

Step 2: Statement (I)
Birth control by tablets is a physiological device, so Statement (I) is true.

Step 3: Statement (II)
Saheli was developed at CDRI Lucknow. It contains centchroman, a non-steroidal preparation taken once a week.
So it is not steroidal and Statement (II) is false.

Step 4: Conclusion
Statement (I) is true and Statement (II) is false.

Final Answer:
Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false. \[ \boxed{\text{(C) }\text{Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false.}} \]
