Answer:

B) the use of ciprofloxacin is contraindicated in pregnancy.

Actually, ciprofloxacin is fluoroquinolones and fluoroquinolones may affect the initiation or development of cartilage. That's why fluoroquinolones are prohibited in pregnant or breast feeding women. Fluoroquinolones are enter into breast milk which can affect the children.

There are other options too, to use the safe antibiotics to treat the infection instead of ciprofloxacin.
