How long is emergency contraception approved for use after unprotected sex?

  1. 24 hours

  2. 48 hours

  3. 72 hours

  4. 120 hours

The correct answer is: 72 hours

The other options are incorrect because - Option A (24 hours) is not enough time for the emergency contraception to be fully effective. - Option B (48 hours) is also not enough time and falls within the 72-hour timeframe. - Option D (120 hours) is too long and the effectiveness of the emergency contraception decreases significantly after 72 hours. Emergency contraception is most effective when taken within 72 hours, but it can still be effective up to 120 hours after unprotected sex.
