__________ are agents in the __________ that can reach the fetus through the mother and cause harm.

Teratogens are environmental agents that can pass from the mother to the developing fetus and cause harm. Therefore, “Teratogens . . . environment” completes the sentence correctly. Spermicides and proteins do not fit this definition, and abruptio placentae is a pregnancy complication, not an environmental agent.
