As we hve discussed in Temporary Methods of Birth Control - Natural Methods -

 Periodic Abstinence:

  • The couples avoid or abstain from coitus from day 10 to day 17 of the menstrual cycle.
  • During these days, the ovulation occurs and hence, the chances of fertilization are high. 
  • The following facts are taken into consideration:
  • Ovulation occurs on about 14th day of menstruation
  • Secondary oocyte remains alive for 1-2 days
  • Sperm survives for about 3 days

Advantages of this method:

  • No side effects
  • No cost implied
  • No effect on natural menstruation

Disadvantages of this method:
Unsuitable for females with the irregular menstrual cycle
High chances of failure

 Hence, the correct option is (b).
