Solution
Verified by Toppr

STDs are also called as silent diseases because they do not show the symptoms at the early stages and hence remain undiagnosed. Appearance of symptoms at later stages makes it difficult to treat, prevent or stop further infection. Example, HIV-AIDS.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
