The correct answer is: It inhibits the secretion of GnRH
Progestogens-only oral contraceptives or progestin-only contraceptives are used to prevent pregnancy. Progesterone is a female hormone. It works by preventing the release of eggs from the ovaries (ovulation) and changing the cervical mucus and the lining of the uterus. Thus such pills, or combined pills are used as contraceptives.
