Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Rh(D) immunoglobulin prevents the formation of Rh antibodies in Rh-negative mothers. This is crucial to prevent Rh sensitization, which can lead to hemolytic disease of the newborn in current and future pregnancies.

Choice B rationale

Rh(D) immunoglobulin does not prevent the formation of Rh antibodies in newborns who are Rh positive. Instead, it works by preventing the mother's immune system from recognizing Rh-positive fetal cells.

Choice C rationale

Rh(D) immunoglobulin does not destroy Rh antibodies in Rh-negative mothers. Its purpose is to prevent the formation of these antibodies in the first place.

Choice D rationale

Rh(D) immunoglobulin does not destroy Rh antibodies in newborns who are Rh positive. The newborn's immune system is not targeted by this immunoglobulin.
