Explanation:

Teratogens are agents (like certain drugs, chemicals, infections) in the environment. They can pass through the mother's bloodstream (via the placenta) and harm the fetus. Spermicides (A) are for contraception. Abruptio placentae (B) is a placental disorder. Proteins (D) are normal body components. So, teratogens fit the description.
