Polio virus, which causes poliomyelitis, is primarily transmitted through the fecal-oral route. This means that the virus can spread when a person ingests contaminated food or water, or by touching surfaces contaminated with the virus and then touching the mouth.
In the context of the options you provided:
1. **She shared a dirty needle and injecting drugs with an acquaintance**: While this is a risk for other infections (such as HIV or hepatitis), it is not a typical route for the transmission of polio.
2. **She didn't thoroughly wash her hands after using the restroom**: This is a plausible way to contract the polio virus, as not washing hands can lead to fecal contamination and then ingestion of the virus.
3. **She consumed food that wasn't cooked to a safe temperature**: This could also be a potential route for polio transmission if the food was contaminated with the virus.
4. **She inhaled droplets from a nearby stranger's cough**: Polio is not transmitted through respiratory droplets like cold or flu viruses; it primarily spreads through the fecal-oral route.
Given these options, the most likely causes of polio virus transmission in this scenario would be **not washing hands after using the restroom** and **consuming food that wasn't cooked to a safe temperature**.
