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, <u>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</u>. At these places, the parents will be given <u>identification bracelets similar to the baby for further use in case they want to reclaim the baby</u>. Moreover, <u>there are no legal repercussions or prosecution as long as the baby is surrendered safely</u>.
Thus, the <u>correct options are A, B, C, and E</u>.
