Both $(a)$ and $(b)$.
Intra Uterine Devices $(IUDs)$ for contraception

$(ii)$ There are three types of $IUDs$
Non-medicated $IUDs$ They increases the phagocytosis of the sperm within the uterus, $e. g$., Lippes loop
Copper Releasing IUDs Along with phagocytosis of the sperms, the copper ions released, suppresses the sperm motility and the fertilizing capacity of the sperm. $e . g ., Cu – T , Cu -7$, multiload $-375$
Hormone Releasing $IUDs$ They makes the uterus unsuitable for implantation and the cervix hostile to the sperms, $e.g$. progestasert, $LNG-20$
