Pelvic inflammatory disease is an infection of the female upper reproductive tract caused by bacteria that ascend from the cervix. The tissues that get involved are the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries—the organs that make up the upper reproductive tract. This is why the correct answer points to the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. The kidneys and bladder (urinary organs) and the stomach are not the primary targets of PID, though infections can occur separately and rare complications can involve other areas.
