Julia and her boyfriend practice abstinence and experience its many benefits. Which benefit is good for their emotional health?

Answer
A
reduced risk of STIs and STDs
B
no chance of pregnancy
C
greater overall reproductive health
D
less stress about unwanted pregnancies

Explanation

Less stress about an unwanted pregnancy is an emotional benefit because it can reduce worry and anxiety. Abstinence also prevents pregnancy and reduces the risk of STIs, but those are physical or reproductive-health benefits rather than the emotional benefit asked for.
