A) Influenza
B) Tuberculosis
C) HIV
D) Malaria

Answer 1

HIV can be passed from an infected mother to her baby through breastmilk.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mother-to-child transmission refers to the transmission of infection from an infected mother to her baby during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. One example of a disease that can be passed from an infected mother to a baby is HIV. If the mother is infected with HIV, there is a chance that the virus will be transmitted to her infant through her breastmilk. This mode of transmission is called vertical transmission and accounts for most cases of HIV infection in children.
