The correct answer is: Disease transmitted though exchange of bodily fluids via open wounds, needles, sexual intercouse, etc. (ie Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, AIDS)

Blood-borne pathogens are disease-causing microorganisms that can be transmitted through contact with infected blood or bodily fluids. This typically occurs through the exchange of bodily fluids, such as through open wounds, needle sticks, or sexual intercourse. Some examples of blood-borne pathogens include Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, and AIDS. Options A and B are incorrect because they do not accurately describe what a blood-borne pathogen is. Option D is also incorrect as it refers to a different concept altogether.
