Explanation:

When a mother has an active herpes (HSV) infection, the newborn is at risk of neonatal herpes. Neonatal herpes can cause damage to the eyes (e.g., herpetic keratitis), brain (encephalitis), and skin (cutaneous lesions). Liver damage is not a typical primary risk from neonatal herpes. So the correct options are damage to the eyes, damage to the brain, and damage to the skin.

Answer:

A. damage to the eyes, B. damage to the brain, C. damage to the skin
