What causes hepatitis B and C?

  1. Airborne pathogens

  2. Contaminated food and water

  3. Blood and body fluids of an infected person

  4. Transmission through insects

The correct answer is: Blood and body fluids of an infected person

Hepatitis B and C are primarily caused by exposure to the blood and body fluids of an infected person. This transmission occurs through various means, including unprotected sexual contact, sharing needles or other drug-injecting equipment, and from mother to child during childbirth. The viruses are not transmitted through casual contact or airborne routes. The option that indicates the incorrect transmission methods, such as airborne pathogens, contaminated food and water, and insect bites, highlights the specificity of how these particular types of hepatitis are primarily spread. Understanding this mode of transmission is crucial for prevention strategies, vaccination programs (for hepatitis B), and public health efforts aimed at reducing the incidence of these viral infections.
