Correct answer
Explanation
Hepatitis is a swelling and inflammation of the liver. Hepatitis F appears to be transmitted by the oral fecal route in a similar manner to that of hepatitis A and E, although the epidemiology of the virus has not yet been fully established. Hepatitis F virus (HFV) first appeared as togavirus like 60 to 70 nm enveloped particles that were recovered from the hepatocytes of a number of patients transplanted for fulminant hepatic failure.
