Hepatitis A transmission is primarily through what route?

  1. Blood transfusion

  2. Sexual contact

  3. Fecal-oral route

  4. Inhalation

The correct answer is: Fecal-oral route

Hepatitis A is a viral infection that affects the liver. It is primarily transmitted through the fecal-oral route, meaning that the virus is passed from an infected person's feces to the mouth of another person. This can happen through eating contaminated food or drinking contaminated water, or through close personal contact with an infected person, such as caring for them or sharing food or drinks. Options A and B are incorrect because hepatitis A is not commonly transmitted through blood transfusion or sexual contact. Option D is also incorrect because the virus is not transmitted through inhalation.
