Answer:

In babies born with congenital defects during the German measles rubella epidemic the specific cause of these birth defects was most likely the development of rubella virus infections in embryos.

Explanation:

Options for this question are:

<em>1. </em><em>The development of rubella virus infections in  embryos. </em>

<em>2. The failure of zygotes infected with rubella to develop </em>

<em>3. Mutations in the nerve cells of pregnant  females at the time of the rubella epidemic .</em>

<em>4. An increase in the amount of time needed for  healthy embryonic development.</em>

Rubella is a viral infection caused by a virus of the genus Rubivirus, considered highly teratogenic during the phases of pregnancy where the embryo and the fetus are developing, that is, before 20 weeks of gestation.

<u>The virus is transferred to the embryo or fetus by the mother's blood, acquiring the disease</u>, which can cause abortions or visible malformations at birth, which is called <u>Congenital Rubella Syndrome</u> (CRB).

CRB is responsible for producing cardiovascular, renal, neurological malformations, loss of vision or hearing, problems that German children born during the epidemic probably had.
