Birth control pills and a breast pump.

Explanation

Answer: C - Among some women, lactation can be induced with the mechanical stimulation of the breast and the nipple using a pump or manual manipulation. Estrogen inhibits lactation. The stimulation method of induced lactation takes more time and patience than using medications, but the stimulation method is not associated with adverse side effects relating to medication.
