Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Chlamydia can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) which can lead to infertility in women if left untreated. Testing and treatment are essential to prevent long-term complications. Trichomoniasis can cause discomfort but does not typically lead to infertility. Genital herpes and human papillomavirus can cause symptoms, but do not typically result in infertility.
