Solution

The correct option is A Contaminated food.
The hepatitis B virus can be transmitted through blood and body secretions like semen and vaginal secretions. The virus cannot spread through contaminated food or water. The virus can spread through sexual contact with the infected person, through mosquito bite, sharing of unsterilized needles with the infected person, from infected mother to baby and through blood transfusion.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
