B Correct answer
Explanation

Typhoid fever is caused by Salmonella Typhi and spreads through contaminated food and water, not through blood transfusion. Hepatitis B and C, HIV, and Malaria (in endemic areas) can all be transmitted through infected blood. Blood screening protocols specifically test for these transfusion-transmissible infections but not for typhoid.
