please select the best answer from the choices provided.
a
b
c

Explanation:

• Option A: An STI is more likely to make a person distrustful of romantic partners, not trustful. So A is incorrect.
• Option B: Friends may reject or avoid an infected person due to stigma or misinformation, which affects social health. This is a valid effect.
• Option C: An STI is generally a negative experience that causes stress, anxiety, etc., rather than encouraging a person to be more social. So C is incorrect.
• Option D: Since A and C are incorrect, D (all of the above) is also incorrect.

Answer:

B. The infected person may lose contact with or be rejected by friends.
