Answer:
(C). human papilloma virus
Step-by-step explanation:
Sexually transmitted infections are defined as infections that pass from one to another person by means of sexual contact. STI caused by human papilloma virus (HPV), also increases risk of developing some kinds of cancer, such as cervix cancer.
The HPV interferes with communication mechanisms between cells, which leads to proliferation of those cells in an uncontrolled way. These cells, if escaped by immune responses, continue to grow and form precancerous cells that can become cancer, if not treated.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
