Option 4 could be wrong because zika virus in mother can lead to microcephaly disease in child. I couldnt find respiratory failure in fetus as the consequence. Option 1 is also wrong, so does option 4. Please clarify
Option 1 and 4 was incorrect but the error has been rectified in option 4.

Till now you consider it's not transmitted sexually. Even we are considering the same.
