Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The effects on sexual response are generally associated with the degree and location of the injury. It is not true that women with spinal cord injury always have complicated childbirth or that a disability or chronic condition means the end of a person's sexual life. While it is possible that most men with spinal cord damage may have difficulty having erections, this is not always the case and can vary depending on the extent of their injury.
