Which of the following is not a sexually transmitted disease?

Correct option is D

Sol. Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is not classified as a sexually transmitted disease (STD). While sexual activity may increase the risk of UTIs, they are primarily caused by bacteria such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) entering the urinary tract, rather than through sexual transmission. UTIs affect the bladder, urethra, and kidneys, and they can be treated with antibiotics.

· (c) Chlamydia – Incorrect. Chlamydia is an STD caused by Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria. It often presents with no symptoms but can cause serious reproductive complications if left untreated.
