Solution

Progesterone

Explanation:

The most important component of a contraceptive pill is Progesterone. Progesterone in contraceptive pills works by making the cervical mucus hostile to sperm and altering the uterine lining to prevent implantation of a fertilized egg. Additionally, in combined pills, progesterone helps inhibit ovulation and prevents the development of follicles, thereby effectively preventing pregnancy.
