The correct answer is (b) This system can be used as hormone replacement therapy.
The levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS), also known as Mirena, is a form of long-acting reversible contraception that releases a small amount of levonorgestrel, a progestin hormone, into the uterus. While it does have hormonal effects, it is not suitable for hormone replacement
