Model Answer

(d) Syphilis and Warts

Bacterial infections caused by unsafe sex include gonorrhoea and syphilis; viral infections include warts and HIV-AIDS.

Source: Reproductive Health, Section 7.3.3(d), Chapter 7

Explanation

The passage clearly states: "bacterial infections such as gonorrhoea and syphilis, and viral infections such as warts and HIV-AIDS." So the bacterial example is syphilis and the viral example is warts — matching option (d). Students often confuse HIV-AIDS (viral) with bacterial infections; remember the category each belongs to.
