Solution

aChlamydia and cPubic Lice can be treated with antibiotics.

Here's why:

a) Chlamydia is caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. Antibiotics are effective against bacteria, so they can be used to treat chlamydia.

c) Pubic Lice, also known as crabs, are tiny insects that live on the skin and hair in the pubic area. They can be killed with a lotion, cream, or shampoo that contains a type of medicine called an insecticide. Some of these treatments are technically considered antibiotics because they kill the lice.

On the other hand:

b) Genital Warts are caused by certain types of the human papillomavirus (HPV). Antibiotics are not effective against viruses, so they cannot be used to treat genital warts.

d) Herpes is also caused by a virus (the herpes simplex virus). Like genital warts, it cannot be treated with antibiotics. Antiviral medications are used instead.
