Correct answer: A. Syphilis
- A. Syphilis

Explanation
Syphilis is considered a sexually transmitted disease (STD) because it is primarily spread through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. The bacterium Treponema pallidum, which causes syphilis, can enter the body through mucous membranes or breaks in the skin during sexual activity, leading to infection and transmission between partners. Therefore, sexual contact is the main mode of transmission for syphilis, categorizing it as an STD.
