(D) The placenta acts as a selective barrier, but it is not impermeable to all pathogens. Certain causative agents of Sexually Transmitted Diseases $(STDs)$ are known to cross the placental barrier from the mother to the foetus. $HIV$ (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), the causative agent of $AIDS$, can be transmitted vertically from mother to child across the placenta. Syphilis, caused by the bacterium $Treponema 	ext{ } pallidum$, can also cross the placenta, leading to congenital syphilis. Hepatitis-$B$ virus can also be transmitted from an infected mother to her foetus. Therefore, all the listed agents have the potential to cross the placenta.
