High-Yield Explanation
Placenta previa is a cause of APH which means bleeding from or into the genital tract after the 28th week of pregnancy i.e. it is not a cause of first trimester bleeding. (i.e. option b is incorrect).
As discussed earlier, previous cesarean section increase the chances of placenta previa in next pregnancy (i.e. option d is correct).
