Answer to Question 1

A
Urinary problems and abnormal discharge are often the first signs of chlamydia. Both men and women can experience these symptoms, although it is known as the silent STI because symptoms may not present for a length of time after the disease is contracted. Small red blisters are associated with genital warts and herpes. Chlamydia does not cause dementia.

Answer to Question 2

D
Citrus fruits contain vitamin C, which is important in collagen synthesis, capillary wall integrity, and fibroblast function.
Fish contains protein and vitamin E. Protein plays a role in neogenesis, collagen formation, and wound remodelling.
Eggs contain protein and vitamin E. Protein plays a role in neogenesis, collagen formation, and wound remodelling.
Liver contains vitamin A, which is important in epithelialization and wound closure.
