1. the right answer is C) universal precautions  

Blood-borne diseases are diseases that can spread through infection with blood and other body fluids. The most common examples are HIV, hepatitis B and viral hemorrhagic fever.

Diseases that are not transmitted directly by blood, but by acids or other vectors, are more commonly classified as vector-borne disease, although the causative agent can be found in the blood. Vector-borne diseases include West Nile virus and malaria.

To avoid contagion, it is enough to avoid direct contact (injury, transfusion) with contaminated blood.
