Which type of hepatitis is most often transmitted via the fecal-oral route?

Hepatitis A.
Hepatitis B.
Hepatitis C.
Hepatitis D.

The correct answer is: Hepatitis A.

Hepatitis A is most often transmitted via the fecal-oral route, which occurs when a person ingests contaminated food or water. This transmission pathway typically involves practicing poor hygiene or consuming food or water that has been contaminated by feces from an infected person. The virus is particularly prevalent in areas with inadequate sanitation and is more likely to be spread during outbreaks in communities where hygiene practices may be compromised. In contrast, hepatitis B, C, and D are primarily transmitted through blood and bodily fluids, rather than through ingestion. These viruses require direct contact with infected fluids for transmission, making the fecal-oral route irrelevant for their spread. Understanding the modes of transmission is crucial for prevention strategies, particularly in public health and disease control settings.
