Explanation:

The Safe Surrender Law or the Safely Surrendered Baby Law is a law that provides an alternative for any baby 'unwanted' or 'unable to be cared for' by the parents. This law is a result of the high rate of infant mortality and is created to prevent such deaths and save the babies from 'premature' death.

According to this law, a parent/ parents can drop off their babies in any designated location (most often hospitals and fire stations) within the first 72 hours from birth. At these places, the parents will be given identification bracelets similar to the baby for further use in case they want to reclaim the baby. Moreover, there are no legal repercussions or prosecution as long as the baby is surrendered safely.

Thus, the correct options are A, B, C, and E.
