A Correct answer
Explanation

When water sources, including private wells, are contaminated with faeces from infected humans, the water will spread the hepatitis A virus to others who drink this water. The virus can enter water supplies through sewage overflows or from broken sewage systems. This virus cannot travel through air and also does not spread by physical contact. An infected mother also cannot pass it on.
