Solution

The correct answer is b. if only W and Y are correct.

Explanation:

W. Maternal infection is a risk factor - This is true. Certain types of infections during pregnancy can lead to brain damage in the fetus, leading to cerebral palsy.

X. The cerebellum (regulating balance and coordination) is always affected - This is not necessarily true. While the cerebellum can be affected in cerebral palsy, it is not always the case. Cerebral palsy can involve brain damage in various parts of the brain, not just the cerebellum.

Y. Hypoxia and death of brain tissue is a major cause of cerebral palsy - This is true. Lack of oxygen to the brain (hypoxia) during birth or in the neonatal period can cause brain damage leading to cerebral palsy.

Z. Genetic mutations underpin most cases of cerebral palsy - This is not true. While genetic mutations can cause cerebral palsy, they do not underpin most cases. Most cases are due to factors affecting the brain during pregnancy or around the time of birth.
