49) a neonate with swelling of the neck has a decreased serum T4 concentration and an increased serum TSH concentration. which of the following agents chronically ingested by the mother during the pregnancy is most likely cause of these findings?

a) corticosteroids
b) propranolol
c) propylthiouracil
d) thyroxine
e) T3

i heard the answer was C, but why is it C when propylthiouracil is safe during pregnancy and less likely to cross through placenta????
