• C. Cytomegalovirus
• D. Varicella zoster

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Genital warts, a common sexually transmitted infection, are caused by the Human papillomavirus (HPV). Specifically, types 6 and 11 of the HPV are most commonly associated with these warts. This virus affects the skin and moist membranes lining the body, such as the cervix, anus, mouth, and throat. Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination and may include further testing like a biopsy if needed. Prevention is achievable through HPV vaccination, promoting safe sex practices, and routine screenings.
