Hep B is transmitted:

Hep B is transmitted:

• A. Through contaminated food or water
• B. Airborne droplets
• C. Through blood, sexual activity and mother-child transfer at birth
• D. Casual contact

Answer: (C)

Hepatitis B is transmitted through contact with infectious blood or body fluids, which includes blood, sexual fluids, and perinatal exposure from mother to child at birth. That’s why the best answer lists blood, sexual activity, and mother-to-child transfer. Contaminated food or water is associated with hepatitis A and E, not hepatitis B. Airborne droplets spread respiratory infections, not HBV. Casual contact (like hugging or sharing utensils) does not reliably transmit HBV because the virus isn’t spread by casual social contact.
