Abortions could happen spontaneously too. (True/False)
Assertion (A): Untreated sexually transmitted infections can have serious long-term consequences. Reason (R): Untreated STIs could lead to complications like pelvic inflammatory diseases, abortions, still births, ectopic pregnancies, infertility or even cancer of the reproductive tract.
Correct answer: A — If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
Both statements are true from NCERT. NCERT states “This could lead to complications later, which include pelvic inflammatory diseases (PID), abortions, still births, ectopic pregnancies, infertility or even cancer of the reproductive tract.” The Reason explains WHY untreated STIs have serious consequences by listing the specific complications that can develop, providing causal explanation for the severity mentioned in the Assertion.
