How can PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) lead to infertility in women? Select one: a. PID can lead to scar tissue developing on the Fallopian tube. This prevents the egg and the sperm from meeting, causing infertility. b. PID prevents the endometrium from forming. There is not enough material for the fertilized egg to implant itself. c. PID leads to scar tissue on the corpus luteum. This disrupts ovulation. d. PID affects the cervix. This causes the cervix to swell, decreasing the chance a sperm could pass into the uterus.
