Which of the following sexually transmitted diseases affects our immune system?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) HIV-AIDS.
Explanation:
· HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) causes AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), a condition that severely weakens the immune system by destroying CD4 T-cells, which are crucial for immunity.
· Other diseases like warts, gonorrhoea, and syphilis are sexually transmitted but do not directly target the immune system.
