which statement accurately describes the safety of condom use?

a. condoms are inexpensive and accessible, but they are not very effective at preventing infection or pregnancy.
b. if condoms dont tear or slip out of place, they help against infection and pregnancy.
c. condoms are more effective at preventing pregnancy than hormone-based birth control methods.
