Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
HBV (Hepatitis B Virus) is a liver-damaging disease that can be contracted through sexual contact, as well as through blood, sharing of needles, and from mother to child during childbirth. While HIV can also be transmitted through sexual contact, it primarily attacks the immune system rather than the liver. Chlamydia, herpes, and gonorrhea are sexually transmitted infections but do not cause liver damage.
