RSV infections in infants can be life-threatening.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement is that RSV infections in infants can be life-threatening.

RSV can cause a range of symptoms from mild cold-like symptoms to severe pneumonia. In infants, RSV infections can be particularly dangerous and require medical intervention.
