The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Hepatitis B**: Hepatitis B is a viral infection that primarily affects the liver. It is caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV). 2. **Transmission Routes**: The virus is transmitted through exposure to infected body fluids. This includes: - **Blood Transfusion**: If a person receives blood from an infected donor, they can contract the virus. - **Intimate Physical Contact**: This includes any close contact that may involve the exchange of bodily fluids. - **Sexual Contact**: Unprotected sexual intercourse with an infected person can lead to transmission of the virus. 3. **Additional Transmission Methods**: Hepatitis B can also be transmitted from an infected mother to her baby during pregnancy or childbirth, and through breastfeeding if there are open sores or cuts. 4. **Conclusion**: Since all the mentioned methods (blood transfusion, intimate physical contact, and sexual contact) are valid routes of transmission for Hepatitis B, the correct answer to the question is "all of these". **Final Answer**: Hepatitis B is transmitted through blood transfusion, intimate physical contact, sexual contact, or all of these. The correct answer is "all of these". ---
