Explanation:

Question 14

Genital herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Syphilis is caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum, gonorrhea by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and trichomoniasis by the protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis. Since the question asks for a viral STD, we identify the option caused by a virus.

Using refusal skills when pressured to engage in sexual activity helps avoid unprotected sex. Being sexually active (even with one person or asymptomatic partners) still has risk if protection isn't used. Protected sexual activity (like using condoms) is preventive, but refusal skills (option d) prevent any risky exposure in the first place when pressured.

Answer:

a. genital herpes
