Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection of the female reproductive organs, usually caused by sexually transmitted bacteria. If left untreated, it can spread from the uterus to the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and surrounding tissues, leading to serious complications such as infertility. Endometriosis and cervical mucus are not infections, and infertility is a potential consequence of untreated PID, rather than a definition of the condition.
