Expert Solution
Step 1 INTRODUCTION

Chronic genital tract infection by Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease which infects the columnar epithelium of the genital tract [like Cervix, urethra, and rectum] which can lead to serious complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and ectopic pregnancy in women, and epididymitis and orchitis in men.

Chronic genital tract infection by Neisseria gonorrhoeae is also a sexually transmitted disease which majorly infects the mucous membrane of reproductive tract [like cervix, uterus, and fallopian tubes in women, and the urethra in women and men.]

Thus, Hygiene plays an important role in human bodies be it men or women , especially women are more prone to have infections very quickly .

Step 2

Answer. The person having genital tract infection with chlamydia or Neisseria Gonorrhoeae both involves genital organs and reproductive tract, thus they have high chances of attaining -

  • ectopic pregnancy
  • infertility
  • pelvic inflammatory disease / PID

whereas there will be no high risk for conceiving triplets. 

Hence the correct option will be Option B. increase risk of conceiving triplets because infected patients decreases there ability to conceive even with a single egg, so risk for conceiving triplets is almost zero.
