Solution

The correct option is A Both the Assertion and the Reason are true and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
STDs are also called as silent diseases because they do not show the symptoms at the early stages and hence remain undiagnosed. Appearance of symptoms at later stages makes it difficult to treat, prevent or stop further infection. Example, HIV-AIDS.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
