In newborn babies with VSD, a ventricular septal defect, the consequence is that oxygenated and deoxygenated blood will mix within the heart. This occurs because the hole in the intraventricular septum allows blood to flow between the left and right ventricles, causing a mixing of oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood. This can lead to various complications and affects the overall oxygenation of the blood in the body.

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
