Answer:

Raw chicken

Step-by-step explanation:

Hepatitis A is an acute infectious disease caused by the HAV virus that is transmitted orally or fecally from one infected person to another healthy or through food (especially seafood, raw or undercooked meat, creamy sweet fillings and vegetables) or from contaminated water.

This virus can survive for up to four hours on the skin of the hands and fingers. It is also extremely resistant to degradation caused by environmental changes, which facilitates its spread, and even withstands for years up to minus 20 ° C.

According to this reasoning, we can say that among the options given in the question above, the one that has the highest chance of transmitting the hepatitis A virus is raw chicken.
