The most likely cause of Anna's poliovirus infection among the provided options is:
**She didn't thoroughly wash her hands after using the restroom.**
Poliovirus is primarily transmitted via the fecal-oral route, which means that inadequate handwashing after using the restroom can lead to the virus being introduced into the mouth, often through contaminated hands. Sharing dirty needles is more associated with the transmission of bloodborne viruses, while foodborne transmission is less common for poliovirus. Inhalation of droplets is not a typical transmission route for poliovirus.
