The correct Answer is:
Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Menstruation**: Menstruation is a phase in the menstrual cycle that lasts about 5 to 7 days, during which the lining of the uterus breaks down and an unfertilized egg is expelled from the body along with blood. 2. **Importance of Personal Hygiene**: During menstruation, it is crucial for females to maintain personal hygiene. This is because the menstrual flow can create an environment that is conducive to bacterial growth. 3. **Consequences of Poor Hygiene**: If personal hygiene is not maintained during menstruation, it can lead to various health issues. One of the most significant risks is the development of reproductive tract infections. 4. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: Among the options provided: - a) Reproductive tract infection - This is a likely consequence of poor hygiene. - b) Cramps - While cramps can occur during menstruation, they are not directly related to hygiene. - c) Infertility - This is a serious condition but is not a direct result of poor hygiene during menstruation. - d) Pregnancy - This is unrelated to hygiene practices during menstruation. 5. **Conclusion**: The most appropriate answer to the question is (a) Reproductive tract infection, as it directly correlates with the lack of personal hygiene during menstruation.
