Chronic limitations can result from various factors including near drowning, congenital heart defect, fetal insult during pregnancy, and infections such as pneumonia and sepsis. Rubella contracted during the first trimester of pregnancy can have long-term effects on the developing fetus, leading to chronic limitations. Therefore, options A, B, D, and E are correct choices. Option C, pneumonia from Haemophilus Influenza virus, may cause acute illness but is less likely to result in chronic limitations.
