The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Syphilis is caused by bacterium Treponema pallidum. It is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) which is transferred through sexual intercourse with infected person. Haemophilia is a X-linked genetic disorder of blood. It is not transmitted via any sexual practise. Genital herpes is an STD while sickle-cell anaemia is an autosomal hereditary disorder. The chances of a 5 year boy contacting an STD are very little since he is unlikely to have sex at this age.

Concepts Used:
Reproductive Health
- The biological process by which a new individual or an offspring is produced from a parent or parents that are biologically similar or identical is known as reproduction. It is the elemental trait of all known forms of life. In fact, each and every individual have life because of reproduction.
- The state or position of male and female reproductive systems during their lifetime refers to their reproductive health. The system comprises organs and glands, including the pituitary gland in our brain, which are responsible for the production and release of hormones.
- In other words, reproductive health can be described as a state of physical, mental, and social well-being in all aspects relating to the reproductive system. It includes the liberation and appropriate capacity to reproduce as and when one decides to do so, apart from having a safe and satisfying sex life.
