Answer: D)

Step-by-step explanation:

A) is incorrect because the development of schizophrenia in pregnancy, while the mother, is having flu is not possible. Also B) and C) are the incorrect answers since the flu has nothing to do with the possibility of will the twins be

identical.

If a mother was having flu during pregnancy there is a possibility that it can affect a baby which means that it can cause birth deffects in a baby.
