Which of the following is NOT a transmission route for Hepatitis B?

Hepatitis B is transmitted through blood and certain body fluids, not through the air. It spreads when blood or other infectious fluids enter another person’s body, such as during contact with infected blood, sexual contact in which semen or vaginal fluids are exchanged, or sharing needles or other equipment contaminated with blood. It can also be passed from mother to child at birth. Breathing air in close quarters does not transmit Hepatitis B because the virus isn’t spread by respiratory droplets or casual airborne exposure.
