Answer:

Type A

Step-by-step explanation:

Hepatitis A is a disease caused by the hepatitis A virus that directly affects the liver.

The hepatitis A virus is transmitted by fecal-oral route.

The main vehicles of fecal-oral transmission are water and food contaminated with fecal matter containing the hepatitis A virus.

This explains its higher prevalence in people living in areas with poor health systems or poor hygiene conditions.
